Lasha and his wife Olena, long-haul freight truck drivers who came to the U.S. legally in 2023 and held valid work authorization through 2029, were detained by ICE in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Olena was released after about two weeks and is now under house arrest at their home in Brooklyn, while Lasha has remained in ICE detention for more than a month. The couple is seeking legal representation to navigate their immigration case, and a fundraiser has been organized to help cover legal and related expenses.
