芝加哥讯——就在几天前，18岁的里卡多·埃尔南德斯-纳瓦雷特还被困在肯塔基州的一所移民拘留中心，担心自己成为职业足球运动员的梦想会因被驱逐的阴云而破灭。
周四晚间，埃尔南德斯-纳瓦雷特回到芝加哥领取高中毕业证，此前他意外地获得了美国移民海关执法局（ICE）的释放。
“挺好的，很兴奋，”毕业典礼结束后被问及感受时，埃尔南德斯-纳瓦雷特对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻记者说。
这名出生于哥伦比亚的少年已经在移民海关执法局的羁押中度过了两个多月。今年3月，他和母亲本以为只是在芝加哥参加一次常规的移民相关预约，却被逮捕。由于已达到法定年龄，他与母亲被分开，被移民海关执法局辗转送往全美各地的拘留设施，先后在印第安纳州、堪萨斯州、俄克拉荷马州、路易斯安那州、俄亥俄州和肯塔基州的拘留中心被关押。
在首次全国电视采访中，埃尔南德斯-纳瓦雷特说自己被羁押的经历“令人难以理解”。
“我没法踢足球，”他说，“那是我生命中最重要的事。”
他补充道，连续数周无法与母亲见面、无法通话同样令人痛苦。
“我从来没有和他分开这么久过，”他的母亲玛莎·莉莲安娜·纳瓦雷特用西班牙语对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻记者说。
上周，根据法官的命令，移民海关执法局释放了她。她说她担心儿子会在自己不在场的情况下被驱逐，那将摧毁她看着儿子在美国职业足球俱乐部踢球的梦想。
埃尔南德斯-纳瓦雷特于周二被移民海关执法局释放，距离他的毕业典礼仅两天。据埃尔南德斯-纳瓦雷特的律师透露，同日一名移民法官驳回了他的保释申请，目前尚不清楚移民海关执法局为何下令释放他。
但这名高中毕业生表示，能回到芝加哥与家人、朋友和队友团聚让他非常开心。几周来，这些人一直在敦促移民海关执法局释放他。他说自己已经承诺将为芝加哥的杜鲁门学院踢足球。
尽管母子二人已获释，但他们仍面临被驱逐的可能。美国国土安全部在一份声明中表示，这一家人于2022年非法入境美国，当时埃尔南德斯-纳瓦雷特年仅15岁。该机构表示，这名少年将获得“完整的正当法律程序”。
他们的律师凯利·芬内尔对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻记者说，美国移民法院系统将裁决这一家人是否可以合法、永久地留在美国。
与此同时，埃尔南德斯-纳瓦雷特被要求每两周向移民海关执法局报到一次，并佩戴了一枚无法摘下的电子手环，以便该机构追踪他的行踪。他还必须每天提交自己的照片，若计划离开该地区出行，需提前通知移民海关执法局。
埃尔南德斯-纳瓦雷特的高中教练恩里克·塞尔万特斯表示，他的前球员显然不属于特朗普政府在为其激进的驱逐打击政策辩护时经常提及的危险罪犯之列。
塞尔万特斯补充道，埃尔南德斯-纳瓦雷特是“一个在学校读书、努力工作、想要提升自己，并期盼着大学未来的人”。
“里卡多完全不符合‘最恶劣分子’的描述，”他说。
当被问及他会对美国政府官员说些什么来说服他们允许自己合法留在美国时，埃尔南德斯-纳瓦雷特表示，他们应该考虑到他没有犯罪记录，以及他的抱负。
“他们可以看到我一直在读高中，已经毕业了，即将进入大学，”他说，“所以我一直在走正途。或许正因如此，我能获得留在这里的机会。”

Teen soccer player released by ICE asks for chance to stay in U.S.: “I’m doing the right things”

Chicago— Just a few days ago, 18-year-old Ricardo Hernandez-Navarrete was stuck in an immigration detention center in Kentucky, fearing his dreams of playing professional soccer would be derailed by the specter of deportation.
On Thursday evening, Hernandez-Navarrete was back in Chicago to receive his high school diploma, after being unexpectedly released by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
“Good, excited,” Hernandez-Navarrete told CBS News when asked how he felt moments after graduation.
The Colombian-born teen had spent over two months in ICE custody, after being arrested, alongside his mother, in March during what they expected would be a routine immigration appointment in Chicago. Being of legal age, he was separated from his mother and shuffled by ICE across the country, held in detention facilities in Indiana, Kansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Ohio and Kentucky.
In his first national television interview, Hernandez-Navarrete said his detention was “hard to understand.”
“I couldn’t play soccer,” he said. “That’s the most important thing in my life.”

Not being able to see or talk to his mother for weeks, he added, was also painful.
“I had never been separated from him for so long,” his mother, Martha Liliana Navarrete, told CBS News in Spanish.
ICE released her last week, after a judge’s order. She said she worried her son would be deported without her, dooming her dream of seeing him playing for a professional soccer club in the U.S.
Hernandez-Navarrete was released by ICE on Tuesday, just two days before his graduation. It’s unclear why ICE ordered his release, since an immigration judge denied him bond that same day, according to Hernandez-Navarrete’s lawyer.
But the high school graduate said he’s just happy to be back in Chicago, with his family, friends and teammates, who had been urging ICE to release him for weeks. He said he’s already committed to playing soccer for Truman College in Chicago.
Despite their release, Hernandez-Navarrete and his mother still face the possibility of deportation. In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said the family entered the U.S. illegally in 2022, when Hernandez-Navarrete was 15. The agency said the teen would receive “full due process.”
The U.S. immigration court system will now adjudicate whether the family should be allowed to stay in the country legally and permanently, their lawyer, Kelli Fennel, told CBS News.
In the meantime, Hernandez-Navarrete was instructed to check in with ICE every two weeks, and was fitted with a watch he cannot remove so the agency can track his movements. He also has to submit photos of himself every day and alert ICE if plans to travel away from the region.
Hernandez-Navarrete’s high school coach, Enrique Cervantes, said his former player is clearly not one of the dangerous criminals the Trump administration routinely cites when justifying its aggressive deportation crackdown.
Hernandez-Navarrete, Cervantes added, is “someone who’s going to school, working, trying to better themselves and trying to see a future at the collegiate level.”
“Ricardo does not fit the description of the ‘worst of the worst,’” he said.
Asked what he would tell U.S. government officials to convince them to let him stay in the country legally, Hernandez-Navarrete said they should consider the fact he lacks a criminal record, as well as his ambitions.
“They can see that I’ve been in high school, I graduate(d) and I’m going to be in college,” he said. “So I’m doing the right things. So maybe for that, I can get the opportunity to be here.”
