Per The New York Times:
Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the minority leader, said on Monday that he would be taking Raiza Contreras, a mother whose son, Dylan Lopez Contreras, was the first reported public school student in New York City to be detained by immigration agents last year. Mr. Schumer said he had “entered legally and was following the law.”
“I am proud to bring Raiza as my personal guest to the State of the Union to show how ICE is hurting families and terrorizing communities across America,” Mr. Schumer said in a statement. “Dylan deserves to be home with his mom and in the community that loves him. We must rein in ICE.”
Homeland security officials have called the 20-year-old student “an illegal alien from Venezuela.”
Representative Ilhan Omar, the Minnesota Democrat who has been a target of attacks from Mr. Trump, said on Monday that she would bring four guests who have been impacted by the Trump administration’s enforcement blitz in the state: Aliya Rahman, Mary Granlund, Mubashir Hussen and Gerardo Orozco Guzman.
President Trump will bring his own special guests.
The 47th President has invited the U.S. men’s hockey team, Erika Kirk, a Korean War Veteran who will receive the Medal of Honor during the address, and several others.
