Jose Diaz, a father of three and the primary provider for his family, was detained by ICE on September 3, 2026. At a court hearing on September 28, his family learned he needs $30,000 for release, in addition to legal fees. His son Luis Diaz describes him as a devoted family man and man of faith who has always supported his children's education and goals, and the family is now struggling financially and emotionally since his detention.
