A federal judge has granted a $1,500 bond for a high school student from Cheshire who was detained by ICE agents earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Rihan, an 18-year-old Cheshire High School senior, had a bond hearing Monday morning. The move will allow him to be released from an ICE detention center in Massachusetts, where he has spent the last two weeks.<\/p>\n

Immigration agents arrested the teen as he left his house with an uncle and his brother. News 12 Connecticut is not revealing the teen’s last name due to safety threats against his family overseas.<\/p>\n

He came to the U.S. legally in 2024 under humanitarian parole, a temporary immigration status for “urgent humanitarian reasons,” because his father’s work with the U.S. Army placed the family in danger.<\/p>\n

Judge: Arrest of CT teenager by ICE was based on erroneous information.<\/a><\/p>\n

Rihan’s father, Zia, was the intended target, according to the teen’s attorneys. ICE held Zia for three months before a judge ordered his release last October. When Rihan told officers that his father was at home, their attention allegedly turned to him \u2014 claiming his parole had expired.<\/p>\n

Agents based Rihan’s arrest on erroneous online immigration paperwork, according to a federal judge. Rihan’s humanitarian status was valid until October 2026. He also has pending “green card” and asylum applications.<\/p>\n

Despite U.S. Customs and Border Patrol correcting the paperwork, ICE revoked Rihan’s immigration status “without prior notice to petitioner, without a hearing and without compliance with the procedural requirements,” his attorneys claimed.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the judge denied his request to reinstate his immigration status.<\/p>\n
