A 29-year-old Dominican Republic citizen who entered Puerto Rico without inspection in 2021 was arrested by ICE agents on June 25, 2026 during a traffic stop in San Juan. He had been living in Puerto Rico for nearly five years with no criminal record, had married a U.S. citizen, had an approved I-130 family petition, and had a pending provisional unlawful presence waiver application. The court granted a temporary restraining order preventing his transfer outside Puerto Rico and ordered he receive a bond hearing before an Immigration Judge, finding he likely fell under discretionary detention provisions rather than mandatory detention.
