Longtime Seaside restaurant owner detained by ICE, family seeks release
Sep 10, 2026·Location: Seaside, OR

Martin Anguiano, 63, a longtime Clatsop County resident who has owned and operated Guadalajara Taco Shop in Seaside for 23 years, was arrested by ICE officers on Sept. 10 while picking up supplies at a Safeway. Officers cited a 1993 removal order tied to a decades-old drug possession arrest, after which Anguiano was previously deported and later returned to the country. His wife, Michelle, said she is struggling to understand what happened and described him as a hardworking father, grandfather and husband well known throughout the community. Anguiano is currently held at the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma, where his family says conditions are poor, and a GoFundMe campaign started by his daughter has raised more than $14,000 to help pay bills and legal fees.
