Daniela Leiva and her husband, José Gregorio Chacón Pérez, were detained by ICE, according to a GoFundMe campaign started by Daniela's sister, Marlin Leiva. The family describes the emotional toll of the detention, including a young niece who misses her aunt, and mothers in Venezuela and Chile who are unable to be with their children. The campaign aims to raise $10,000 to cover legal expenses and other costs related to the couple's detention.
