Overview
- Esteban Danilo Quiroga-Chaparro, 21, was detained by ICE inside a San Francisco USCIS office on October 22 and remains at Golden State Annex with a hearing set in Adelanto on November 4.
- DHS says the arrest followed missed check-ins and an active detainer, while his partner disputes that account and points to possible errors in ICE’s Bi Smart Link monitoring system.
- Relatives report crowded dorms, limited bathrooms and communication access, and difficulty securing bond, echoed by José Padrón’s account after five months in ICE custody in Texas.
- In a separate case, New York worker Alejandro Juárez was deported to Mexico in September without a court hearing according to his family and The New York Times, and DHS says it may facilitate his return under custody.
- Community support is growing as Washington, D.C. priest Carlos Reyes accompanies immigrants to court and advocates publicize cases, including cancer patient Elvia Cruz Vargas, who left Adelanto on bond with an ankle monitor but still fears removal.
