ICE agents in Lakewood, Washington detained 23-year-old Venezuelan citizen Moises Velasquez while searching for a Mexican national with a final deportation order who drove the same make and model car. Velasquez, who entered the U.S. legally through a CBP appointment in 2023, was paroled, obtained employment authorization, and was awaiting a December 2026 asylum hearing when agents broke his car window and arrested him outside the barber shop where he works. A federal magistrate judge called the arrest 'egregious,' finding officers failed to verify his identity or license plate before detaining him, and granted his habeas corpus petition; he was released from the Tacoma ICE detention facility. His attorney said Velasquez has no criminal convictions and had built a life in the community with his pregnant partner.
