CHICAGO (WLS) — A Chicago teenager detained by immigration authorities has been released from federal custody.

Chicago Public Schools student Ricardo Navarrete and his mother, Liliana Navarrete, were taken into custody nearly two months ago during a meeting over their request for asylum.

Last week, a judge ordered Liliana to be released from custody in Kentucky.

Navarrete got to hug and kiss her eldest son in Crown Point, Indiana on Wednesday for the first time in months. But 18-year-old Ricardo remained in custody.

"I am happy. But I feel incomplete," Navarrete said in Spanish, at the time. "I wish I could trade places with him."

Navarrete said she and her two sons arrived in the United States from Colombia in 2022 and immediately applied for asylum. Since their arrests, attorneys for Navarrete and Ricardo have worked diligently to get them released on bond while their immigration cases play out.

On Tuesday, she told ABC7 that a judge in Kentucky had ordered Ricardo’s release.

The teen is now heading back to Chicago and is planning on graduating with his class at Mather High School on Friday. He is committed to play soccer at Truman College in the fall.

He is due back in immigration court in July.
