Emmanuel Nelson, a rising senior and defensive player for Port St. Lucie High School's football team, was pulled over by Port St. Lucie police for driving 45 mph in a 20 mph school zone on Southeast Lennard Road. During the stop, officers determined Nelson was not a U.S. citizen and that his work permit had expired, and they contacted ICE, which placed a detainer on him. Nelson was arrested and has been held for more than a week, first at the St. Lucie County Jail and now at the Broward Transitional Center, pending removal proceedings. ICE said Nelson legally entered the U.S. in January 2016 but later violated the terms of his admission.
