ICE has detained this high schooler for 10 months. Here’s what he and his classmates want you to know Dylan Lopez Contreras, a student at Ellis Prep academy, was taken by ICE in May. The Guardian invited him and five of his classmates to share their lives and dreams

Because some Canadians seem unaware, important info about ICE:

They have 5 field offices in Canada (Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal).

ICE have authority under 2016 Preclearance Act to detain people on Canadian soil in "preclearance areas" (e.g. airports & train stations).
