NBC News Exclusive: Some DHS contractors told White House officials they were asked to pay Corey Lewandowski. From @JuliaEAinsley @jonallendc @news_jul @strickdc nbcnews.com/news/us-news/dโฆ

๐จBREAKING: ICE trafficked a high school student for 10 months. Dylan Lรณpez Contreras, a student at Ellis Prep Academy in the Bronx, a public school exclusively for students who recently arrived in the U.S., was trafficked by ICE after attending a routine immigration court hearing. He hadnโt committed a crime, posed no threat, and was following the law. Yet, ICE locked him up anyway. He was only released because advocates, lawyers, and lawmakers refused to stay silent. Without that pressure, ICE would have continued to traffic him, profiting off his incarceration, while his life and education were stolen. And, as no surprise, Dylanโs constitutional rights were violatedโฆ due process was denied, access to judicial review restricted, and his asylum claim mishandledโฆ all so he could help fill beds. Dylan is free now, which is a relief. But his release doesnโt erase the stolen months, the trauma inflicted, or the countless others trapped by the same system. Every community deserves leaders and institutions that protect human rightsโฆ not leaders who line the pockets of donors. Because ICE isnโt separating families, or detaining students, out of necessityโฆ they are doing it for profit.
