¡Lamentable! ICE arresta a padre inmigrante con visa U y Green Card en proceso: "Se lo llevaron frente a su hijo"

Overview

  • ICE detained Silviano Mora Vera in North Carolina as he accompanied his son, with his family asserting he holds an active U visa and a pending green card application.
  • ICE said Mora had a prior deportation order and a 2019 reckless driving charge, and records show he was moved from Riverside Regional Jail to the Farmville Detention Center in Virginia.
  • The ACLU criticized Mora’s detention, arguing it undercuts the purpose of U visas for crime victims who cooperate with law enforcement.
  • In Lowell, Massachusetts, ICE arrested Jhon Palacio Morales, whose family says he legally entered in 2022 and had a work permit, while ICE and CBS report a 2007 criminal charge and a missed immigration hearing as grounds for the arrest.
  • Palacio Morales reports multiple transfers, restraints during transport, and an identification bracelet with the wrong name and birthdate, and protesters at ICE’s Broadview site were arrested, including U.S. citizen attorney Robert Held, who was released after 8–9 hours.
