Marcelo Gomes da Silva, 18, who came to the U.S. from Brazil at age 7, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents Saturday. Authorities have said the agents were looking for the Milford High School teenager’s father, who owns the car Gomes da Silva was driving at the time and had parked in a friend’s driveway.

Speaking with members of the media outside the detention center shortly after his release on $2,000 bond, Gomes da Silva described “humiliating” conditions and said his faith helped him through his six days of detention.

On his wrist, he wore a bracelet made from the thin sheet of metallic blanket he was given to sleep on the cement floor.

Arrested Development wiki on the Milford School:

Children should be neither seen nor heard.

Every time the Milford school is mentioned in the show, there's a shot of Milford alumnus Buster Bluth exercising the skill he learnt there of avoiding being seen.

I'm in the middle of an AD rewatch, noticed the school's name and made a quick, crappy joke on that.

Obviously the situation is actually horrible for the kid in the article and in no way his fault.

I appreciate you recognizing the blunder, and you couldn't have picked a more obscure reference.

Im thinking the poster meant op should have been harder to find.

Buster in the gif would have given the predator a run for his money.
