Venezuelan father arrested at ICE appointment, detained for months, family later self-deports
Nov 2025 · Centennial, CO, Venezuela

Ronald was arrested in November 2025 during what he believed was a routine appointment at the Centennial ICE field office. He had previously been arrested and released in spring 2024. His arrest and subsequent detention left his wife Cecilia as the sole breadwinner for three children, contributing to the family's financial collapse and eventual decision to self-deport.
