Father of seven detained by ICE, denied bond twice despite clean record

Jose Pescador Garcia, a 29+ year resident with no criminal record, was arrested by ICE on September 9, 2025, while traveling home from work. He is a married father of seven children (three biological, four stepchildren) who has paid taxes every year and maintained steady employment. Despite an approved petition and demonstrated good moral character, he has been denied bond twice and remains detained. His family is struggling financially to cover legal fees while his wife tries to support seven children alone.
