A Venezuelan father and U.S. asylum seeker since 2016 was detained by ICE agents during a traffic stop while driving from Orlando to Atlanta, where his son, a midfielder for Atlanta United FC, resides. He holds a valid work permit and driver's license and has no criminal record. His son launched a fundraiser to cover legal fees, bail, and business expenses as the family fights his case.
