NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — A New Haven high school student who has spent more than a month in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention was granted bond on Thursday by a federal judge, according to his attorney.

Connecticut Students for a Dream says this opens the door for 18-year-old Esdrás to return home and reunite with his loved ones.

Esdrás was detained in late July while working at a local car wash. Since his detainment, he has been sent to various detention centers in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Louisiana.

Community leaders are scheduled to gather on Friday at 11:30 a.m. at Wilbur Cross High School to share updates on Esdrás. While he will not be in attendance, his attorney will be taking questions on his behalf.
