Overview
- Immigration agents detained Jose de Jesus Olaez in Pomona this week during a work trip, with cellphone video showing officers surrounding his vehicle.
- The teen he has been raising lost his aunt and foster mother, Yesenia Gomez, in a DUI crash as she was formalizing his adoption.
- Family members say Olaez has lived in the United States for about 24 years and has no criminal record.
- Relatives are working with a social worker to keep the boy with family rather than re-enter the foster system.
- A GoFundMe is raising money for basic expenses and an immigration attorney while Olaez remains in federal custody.
