Derlis Snaider Chusin Toaquiza, a 19-year-old Ecuadorian asylum-seeker and 11th grader at Grover Cleveland High School in Queens, was detained by ICE on June 4, 2025, during a scheduled immigration court hearing. He was initially held at 26 Federal Plaza in New York City in severely overcrowded conditions, confined in a room so crowded he could not lie down and forced to sleep sitting up with about two dozen other people, receiving only two meals over two days before being moved to an equally overcrowded gymnasium lacking beds, blankets, or basic necessities. He was later transferred to a Texas detention facility. An immigration judge granted him release on bond, and the Envision Freedom Fund posted a $20,000 bond to secure his release. Chusin reunited with his family after about six weeks in detention, with his legal team arguing that ICE violated his due process rights. His asylum case remains pending.
