A Bellaire High School student was detained Friday night by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at Hobby Airport, according to people who know the student.
Alim Garipov, an 18-year-old who will be a senior this fall, moved to the United States from Baltasi, a settlement in south central Russia, in 2022 and attended Pershing Middle School. His family had left their home seeking asylum, and Garipov has a pending asylum case.
