MIAMI (WSVN) - A Miami-Dade County Public Schools teacher has been deported after being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in early January, before President Donald Trump took office.
According to the United Teachers of Dade, the 24-year-old taught science at a middle school and was beloved by his community.
UTD officials told 7News the teacher had been in the United States since he was 13 years old, obtained a college degree and had no criminal record.
Back in early January, UTD officials said, the teacher went in for what he thought was a regular immigration hearing.
Instead, ICE agents took him away.
"That's shocked me. I believe in democracy," said a aprent who identified herself as Carla.
