Bronx nurse whose son was grabbed by ICE is Schumer’s SOTU guest

NEW YORK — A Bronx nurse whose high school student son was grabbed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents last year will be a guest of Sen. Chuck Schumer at President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address.

Raiza Contreras, 41, hopes her presence will spotlight what she calls the unjust treatment of her 21-year-old son, Dylan, who has been imprisoned since he was arrested after attending a routine immigration hearing.
