A 9-year-old boy who begged to be released from the Dilley Immigration Processing Center so he could attend his state spelling bee has been freed with his family, their lawyer says.

Deiver Henao Jimenez made the plea during a video call with Ms. Rachel, whose real name is Rachel Accurso.

“I don’t want to be here anymore,” Deiver said. “Nothing is good here.”

He and his parents, asylum seekers from Colombia, had been held at the center since early March, when they were detained during a routine immigration check-in in New Mexico, according to their lawyer.

ICE freed the family on humanitarian parole Wednesday, about a week after Martin filed a request for their release and days after NBC News reported on their case.
