WCVB – BURLINGTON, Mass.. —

The parents of a Milford, Massachusetts, teenager who was briefly detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents met with officials Tuesday.

Gustavo Oliveira, 16, who attends Milford High School, was taken into custody by masked ICE agents after he got a sandwich at a Main Street bakery in downtown Milford on Friday.

The incident was captured on video. He was detained by the agents and later released.

Oliveira met with immigration officials in Burlington on Monday, and ICE officials requested a meeting with Oliveira’s parents on Tuesday.

Before Tuesday’s meeting, Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary for public affairs for the Department of Homeland Security, issued a statement saying ICE does not target children.

“During a targeted enforcement operation, two illegal aliens fled from the vehicle on foot. The suspected target of the operation escaped, and ICE briefly detained a 16-year-old Brazilian illegal alien to determine his identity and if he was a potential safety threat, as is routine for all arrests,” McLaughlin said.
