Constantina Ramirez and Moises Enciso, a couple from Mexico who have lived in the Chicago suburb of Cicero for about 18 years, were detained by ICE agents on September 14, 2025, after officers surrounded their family's car during a traffic stop and also briefly detained their 22-year-old son. A review of court records found no criminal history for either parent. The couple is being held at separate detention facilities, Ramirez in Michigan and Enciso in Kentucky, and were due back in court on October 22, 2025. Their four children, including two U.S. citizen minors ages 12 and 10, have been left without their parents, with the two eldest siblings stepping into caretaker roles at home.
