Michigan High Schooler Detained on Field Trip Now Facing Deportation
- Eighteen-Year-Old Detroit student Maykol Bogoya Duarte was arrested on May 20 near Rockwood while driving to a school field trip.
- After arriving in 2022, Duarte and his mother sought asylum in the United States, but their request was denied by immigration authorities, leading to a deportation order against him in 2024.
- Local police stopped Duarte for tailgating and lack of a driver's license, then contacted federal Customs and Border Protection, leading to his detention and transfer to ICE custody in Louisiana.
- Supporters formed petitions with over 1,300 signatures and protested, while attorney Ruby Robinson urged ICE to release Duarte so he can graduate and leave at his own expense.
- The case underscores increasing cooperation between community police departments and federal immigration agents and raises concerns about the practice of detaining students within Michigan’s extensive 100-mile CBP border zone.
