(Allegheny County, PA) A father from Sewickley reunited with his daughter on Tuesday after being released from ICE custody. Bruno Guedes da Silva was released on bond this week by an immigration judge after he was detained by ICE agents in February during a traffic stop on Beaver Street in Sewickley while he and his wife were driving to work.  Online court documents also show that the man from Brazil was wanted for a felony warrant for charges that were related to making a false written statement so he could obtain a firearm in McCandless. His criminal defense lawyer Thomas N. Farrell claimed that authorities alleged this happened in July of 2024. Guedes da Silva gave a big hug to his daughter who is battling cancer in her second fight against Hodgin’s lymphoma at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh.
