ICE deported his dad. Now he’s graduating high school without him

Mark, 17, struggled to make it through senior year after his dad was deported to El Salvador. Getting his diploma was bittersweet for the Maryland teen - as his dad watched on a livestream

As Mark was getting ready for his high school graduation, he thought about how his dad would have probably insisted on adjusting his slacks - they were a bit tight - and fixed up his tie. He would want me to look my best," he said.

But his dad and namesake, Marco, was 2,000 miles away. He had been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Maryland just before Christmas and deported to El Salvador in March.
