Meriden teen is back home for Christmas, after six months in detention at an ICE facility

This story details that the teen they detained for six months was just about to graduate high school early at the age of 16.

Definitely the kind of irredeemable criminal monster we don’t want in America.

But this guy seems like such a good student I especially wish it for him.

Edit: There is one linked in the article. If this country can routinely raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for maga people fired for being an asshole I sure hope that we can do better than 10k for this young scholar.
