Ricardo Hernandez Navarrete has been in custody since March — putting his prom, graduation and future as a college soccer player in jeopardy.
The 18-year-old Chicago Public Schools senior was arrested by ICE agents during what his family says was a routine check-in tied to their asylum case.
He and his mother were sent to a detention center in Kentucky, where they have since been separated.
But on Tuesday, his mother was ordered released on bond. Now, Ricardo is hoping he will also be granted bond and allowed to return home while his legal case plays out.
