Mother of Bronx high school student detained by ICE says family now lives in fear
Saturday marks one month since a Bronx high school student was taken into United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody following an immigration hearing. Dylan, 20, was the first New York City public school student that we know of to be detained as part of the Trump administration's ramped-up enforcement. It was the first high-profile arrest of its kind, not only sparking outrage and protests in the city, but giving us a glimpse at the strategies that federal agents are now using regularly – dismissing cases in immigration court before immigrants or those seeking asylum are detained and brought to parts unknown. "The conditions in the facility are deplorable" Dylan's mother, Raiza, spoke exclusively to CBS News New York's Doug Williams about the day she watched agents take her son away in handcuffs. "We were leaving the hearing, but as we walked towards the elevator, we noticed these two men who were following us. They told us to move towards the right side and that we were arrested. I told my son, 'It's ICE,'" Raiza said in Spanish. "They were violent." Raiza says Dylan was helping her raise his younger siblings, who are 7 and 10 years old, and it has been difficult to be without him. "I'm a single mom and he is my support," she said. The lawyers who represent the family say after his detainment, Dylan went from New York City to New Jersey, then to Texas, then to Louisiana, then to Pennsylvania, where he is now. Raiza said she spoke to Dylan as recently as Thursday. "A few days ago he told me they gave him rotten eggs for breakfast and he didn't eat them. Many times the food is spoiled," she said. "The conditions in the facility are deplorable. There are worms in the sink, and it's what they use to drink water ... He's felt sick, but instead of giving him meds, they just yell." A Department of Homeland Security official said in a statement, in part, "ICE takes its commitment to promoting safe, secure, humane environments for those in our custody very seriously. It is a longstanding practice to provide comprehensive medical care from the moment an alien enters ICE custody." DHS added that Dylan is "an illegal alien from Venezuela who illegally entered the U.S. more than one year ago." "This is unjust" Raiza was asked if this experience has changed how she feels about what America represents as a country and a place to live. "We are trying to do things well, follow the law, and for this to happen, makes us fearful. This is unjust," she said. Raiza said her days are spent working to bring her son home, but at night, she is left to think about how far away her son still is. She was emotional when asked how she's been able to sleep. "I wait for his call at night. I pray to God for justice," she said. Dylan has a court date set for early July.

Machine Gun Kelly Jokes He Got Bob Dylan to Do His Album Trailer Through ‘Pure Desperation'
Machine Gun Kelly has officially confirmed the obvious — that it was Bob Dylan narrating his recent album announcement trailer. But in Dylan-esque fashion, MGK declined to give a straight answer as to how the collaboration came about. When asked point blank about Dylan's cameo on Today, MGK quipped, 'A magician never reveals his secrets.' He then continued with something resembling an answer, but still clearly jokey: 'Pure desperation. Just knocking on his door relentlessly, not going away.' More from Rolling Stone Joan Baez on America Under Trump: 'It Feels Like Torn Fabric' Noted Machine Gun Kelly Fan Bob Dylan Narrated MGK's New Album Trailer Troubadour Eric Andersen on New Album and Why 'A Complete Unknown' Was a Tad 'Sugarcoated' That's not to say Machine Gun Kelly wasn't extremely grateful for Dylan's contribution to the Lost Americana trailer. 'I have been blessed with… I don't know, maybe it's just one pioneer seeing something that I am doing that, in the long term, will be looked back [at] and be understood,' MGK said, before quickly adding: 'Not calling myself a pioneer, but him.' Despite not knowing many specifics, it is possible to paint a pretty broad picture of the MGK-Dylan relationship. Earlier this year, Dylan, seemingly out of nowhere, posted on a video on Instagram of MGK rapping at a record store. One (very believable) theory as to how the singer-songwriter stumbled across the clip in the first place was floated by Dylan scholar Ray Padgett, who suggested on Bluesky, 'All because the dude has the same name as an old gangster Bob was googling.' Then in May, evidence emerged of an in-person meeting when MGK attended the Los Angeles stop of Willie Nelson's Outlaw Festival Tour, which Dylan is a part of. The day after the show, MGK tweeted not-so-cryptically, 'i met and had a conversation with someone last night that i never thought i'd get the honor to meet all because of a video of me rapping in a music store 10 years ago. i love music.' MGK released the Lost Americana trailer earlier this month. The clip features a montage of home movie-style footage, with Dylan delivering koans such as, 'Lost Americana is a personal excavation of the American dream — a journey to find what's been lost' and, 'From the gold neon diners to the rumble of the motorcycles, this is music that celebrates the beauty found in the in-between spaces. Where the past is reimagined and the future is forged on your own terms.' Lost Americana is set to arrive Aug. 8. The album marks MGK's first in three years following 2022's Mainstream Sellout. The musician has yet to reveal the full track list for the album, but it will feature his recent single, 'Cliché.'

Mother Of New York High Schooler Detained By ICE Speaks Out
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A distraught mother has told Newsweek how the detainment of her high school student son by federal immigration authorities feels like the "theft" of her child. Dylan, a student at Ellis Preparatory Academy in the Bronx, was detained on May 21 after attending a hearing over his asylum application at a New York immigration court. "We suffer firsthand the theft of our children, as is the case of my son Dylan, who, in complying with the laws, attended routine court and was deprived of his liberty without explanation or arrest warrant," Raiza said in a statement shared with Newsweek. The family has requested that their surname be withheld from publication. Why It Matters Arrests at immigration courts have become a common tactic deployed under President Donald Trump's administration. ICE appears to be using a new strategy that places apprehended migrants into a process that allows for faster removal without the need for traditional court hearings. This approach, known as "expedited removal," can be applied to individuals who have been in the country for less than two years. Dylan, a student at Ellis Preparatory Academy in the Bronx, was detained on May 21 after attending a hearing over his asylum application at an immigration court. Dylan, a student at Ellis Preparatory Academy in the Bronx, was detained on May 21 after attending a hearing over his asylum application at an immigration court. NYLAG What To Know Speaking through a statement translated from Spanish by the New York Legal Assistance Group (NYLAG) and shared with Newsweek, Raiza condemned what she called a cruel and unjust system that punishes those who follow the rules. "We don't decide where we are born or our race, but that doesn't make us more or less than anyone else. It's right to enforce the laws, but without committing injustices. "It's inhumane to go against people and deprive them of their liberty without reason or cause to justify bad behavior. Many of those deprived are students, hardworking mothers and fathers in search of a better future and stability, helping to forge a country with our effort and sacrifice, giving the best to a homeland that gave us shelter since we are orphans of our land." Dylan, 20, entered the country in April 2024 through a Biden-era asylum program and had been working and attending school while awaiting his court date. Although a judge dismissed his deportation case, the decision unintentionally made him subject to expedited removal. Following the hearing, ICE agents detained Dylan, despite his lack of a criminal record and apparently without providing access to legal representation at the time. What People Are Saying Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin previously told Newsweek: Dylan "is an illegal alien from Venezuela who illegally entered the U.S. more than one year ago. Under the Biden administration he was encountered at the border and released into the country. She added that on May 21, 2025, he was "arrested and placed in expedited removal proceedings." Raiza said in a statement: "He is forced to suffer in prison as if he were a criminal or delinquent. We can only hope and trust in God that divine justice will allow an end to the injustices that we Hispanic people suffer today in this country. We only ask for mercy and empathy … there are more of us who are good. "My son is losing months of his life in prison simply because he wasn't born in this nation … because he didn't even want to enter without authorization and he waited for his appointment to be admitted." A spokesperson for the New York Legal Assistance Group said in a statement: "Dylan entered the United States with permission to seek asylum, and his detention robs him of the opportunity to seek that relief with the full protections offered to him under the law."

Pierce Brosnan didn't give his sons Dylan and Paris acting advice as the trio starred together in The Unholy Trinity
Pierce Brosnan gave his sons "very little advice" as they worked together on the new movie The Unholy Trinity. The 72-year-old star is joined by his youngest boys Dylan, 28, and Paris, 24, - who he has with his wife Keely Shaye Smith - in the film and explained that he didn't want to overload the pair on their acting bows in the Western action flick. Pierce told People magazine: "I gave very little advice, and they asked me for very little advice. I think both men knew instinctively what to do: Show up on time, know your lines, and be brilliant. Be relaxed, and have fun, and go play." However, the former James Bond actor was less impressed by how untidy his sons were in the motor home they shared during the snowy production. Brosnan said: "It was winter, the snow was coming in, they didn't wipe their feet. Just the old common sense, 'Wipe your feet, take your boots off, for God's sake!' You know?" Pierce revealed how Dylan and Paris grew up on his movie sets as they travelled the world with their parents at the height of his movie career. The star - who also adopted his late wife Cassandra Harris' (who passed away aged 43 in 1991 from ovarian cancer) children Chris, 52, and Charlotte - who died from the same disease as her mother in 2013 at the age of 41 - recalled: "We always stayed together tight as a family during the days of James Bond. "(Dylan and Paris) have been on the road with me since they were tiny. Keely and I took them everywhere with us around the world." Paris explained that he and his brother's appearance in the movie "organically came about". He said: "It kind of naturally and organically came about. There were some little opening for us to get in there and dip our toes in the water." Dylan, meanwhile, wasn't concerned about how much screen time he got as he embraced the chance to act alongside his father and brother. He said: "It was just really nice to go spend time with Dad and Paris and be a part of that."

Chinese heartthrob Dylan Wang has been capturing the hearts of fans worldwide, but now he has captured their appetite as well. In a Xiaohongshu post on June 15, a netizen who visited a noodle shop in Xi'an, China, shared a hilarious discovery — the bowls and chopsticks that the 26-year-old actor had used during his visit is now displayed on a red stand in a clear case. His photo was placed on top of the case with the description: "The tableware Dylan Wang had used before." The netizen who made the post, now trending on Weibo's Entertainment hot search list, also gave a shoutout to him in the caption: "Dylan, do you know your tableware is now displayed for worship?" As it turns out, Dylan, whose notable works include Chinese dramas Love Between Fairy and Devil (2022) and Guardians of the Dafeng (2024), had visited the noodle shop Shan Da Wan while in the city in 2023 and posted about his experience in a Weibo vlog then. In the vlog, he is seen feasting on local delicacies in the eatery, including meat skewers, soup and Biangbiang noodles — also known as you po mian , a thick, broad, hand-pulled noodle dish seasoned with spicy and tangy sauce — using the alleged bowl and chopsticks that is now displayed. Since his visit, the noodle shop owners have erected a display outside of their shop with Dylan's photo, indicating he had dined there. His fans, also known as Xiong Di Huo , have also visited the eatery to sit at the same spot as him, even imitating his actions in the vlog.
