Real estate agents detained by ICE released after judge finds invalid arrest warrant

Fadya Contreras de Rondon and Johnny Rondon Rodriguez, both real estate agents in Central Florida, were detained by federal immigration agents on January 9, 2026, while traveling to work together. Both had valid documentation and pending asylum cases at the time of their arrest. Fadya was transferred between the Orange County Jail, Broward Transitional Center, and back to Orange County Jail during her nearly month-long detention. U.S. District Judge John Antoon found that the arrest warrants used to justify their detentions contained issues with signature authenticity and were invalid, ordering both released on February 13. Two other individuals detained in connection with the same enforcement action—Junier Alexander Silva Parucho, who had overstayed a visa, and Miguel Rincon Hernandez, an asylum applicant—were also ordered released by judges on February 13 after determinations that their detentions were unlawful or that bond payment processing issues should not delay their release.
