CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A Charlotte high school student will continue to be held behind bars while he awaits a federal deportation hearing.
Gus Zamudio who is a senior at Charlotte's Northwest School of the Arts was denied bond by an immigration judge at a hearing at the Stewart Detention Center where he is being held in Lumpkin, Georgia.
The 18-year old Zamudio, who came to this country from Mexico illegally with his parents, was picked up by agents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement after Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police charged him with stealing $2,900 dollars from a Harris Teeter store where he worked.
In the past, Zamudio would have had to have been convicted of the criminal charge before being put in line for deportation.
Under the new immigration policies of President Trump, Zamudio was detained by ICE agents before he ever had the chance to go to court on the criminal charge.

Waiting for the “1 down, 80,000,000 to go post”...
18 going on 30.
So the Libs are eager for him to get charges and a sentence here before being deported? To what end? The only logical conclusion is that they will next want the sentence to be served here before deportation... anything to delay the deportations as long as possible.... while wasting our time and money and jamming the courts and prisons more. It makes no sense.... which is likely why they like it.
There is no way there are 80,000,000 illegals here.
At most it’s 79,947,632.
Who the hell does this kid think he is, the IRS?
Aw, he was just thinkin’ Hillary’s election was a sure thing, Esse...
The article is from March 11. The latest news is that “Gus” is already back in Mexico but he may get back to the USA - http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article148789704.html
Get them out.Get them *all* out.
They want to establish the necessity of being convicted of a crime here before illegal aliens are removed.
ALL illegal aliens ARE subject to removal, we should not have to wait until they are caught and convicted of other crimes.
Why are the parents not detained as well?
“At most it’s 79,947,632.”
Rounding error. Happens all the time. :)
If they’re here illegally they’re already guilty of a crime.
He made a “mistake”. $3,000 jumped into his pocket and he did not notice.
Amen ! EVERY ONE !!
He and his parents are thieves.
Deportation is the least they deserve.
The Observer article points out an item that apparently wasn’t included in the other story: There was a plea bargain involved. There’s a difference between being accused of a crime and pleading guilty to one.
Kick him out.
Justice works when democrats aren’t in charge.
