Randy Cordova Flores, a 36-year-old Peruvian landscaper, was detained by ICE on February 10, 2026, after Springdale Borough police pulled him over for a traffic violation and turned him over to ICE agents at the police station. Cordova Flores entered the U.S. without documentation in 2023 and was seeking asylum with a pending case and valid work authorization. ICE claimed he failed to appear for an immigration hearing; his family and legal representatives contested this, stating he was complying with asylum procedures and check-in requirements. He was held at Moshannon Valley Processing Center in Clearfield County and later transferred to Northern Regional Correctional Facility in West Virginia, where he was confined to a small cell 23 hours daily. After four months in custody, Cordova Flores won release in June 2026 through a habeas corpus petition and was released on bond with an ankle monitor requirement while his case continues.
