Nicaraguan asylum seeker re-detained at ICE check-in after three years of compliance
Apr 16, 2026 · Los Angeles, CA, Nicaragua
Mixan Javier Gonzalez-Rivas, a Nicaraguan citizen who entered the U.S. in December 2022 and was initially released on parole, was re-detained on April 16, 2026 during a routine ICE check-in in Los Angeles. He had been complying with all supervision requirements for over three years, was employed as a caregiver for Los Angeles County, and had a pending asylum application. The court ordered his release within 24 hours, finding his re-detention without a pre-deprivation hearing violated due process.
