CARNEGIE, Pa. — A Carnegie man was taken into custody by ICE and a local Congressman is working to learn why.
Rep. Chris Deluzio said Luis Mayancela, 23, of Carnegie, was arrested by ICE agents in January.
Deluzio said his office has been following this case and has learned that Mayancela has valid work authorization, Special Juvenile status and Deferred Action.
“I’m demanding answers to basic questions about the reason for Luis’ arrest, detention for three-plus months, and why our government is seeking to remove him from the country,” Deluzio said.
Deluzio said he will keep working to get those answers.
