Jorfrank Lugo, a Venezuelan father of two young children, was detained by ICE on February 23, 2026 while attending his required annual check-in appointment, something he had consistently complied with since arriving in the U.S. nearly four years ago. He and his wife Daniela are asylum applicants awaiting their interview, and he has no criminal record. His detention has left his wife, who cares full-time for their two young children, without their family's sole source of income while she tries to fund his legal defense.
