Edgar, a 36-year-old DACA recipient who arrived in the U.S. from Mexico as a 13-year-old in 2001, was detained following a warrant for missing a court date related to driving with a suspended license. He was arrested, held briefly at Orange County jail, then transferred to the Florida Everglades detention center dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz" in early June 2025. Edgar is the father of three U.S. citizens with no criminal record and maintains valid DACA status through regular renewals, with a current work permit. His employer submitted a letter supporting him, and his attorney Josephine Arroyo has petitioned ICE to grant him bond. When arrested, Edgar informed officers of his active DACA status but was told by ICE that DACA had been canceled. His family expressed concern for his safety, citing detention conditions including 24-hour lighting, poor food, mosquitoes, inconsistent air conditioning, and a non-functional toilet system. Neither Edgar nor his attorney understands the legal basis for his continued detention, and the timeline for resolving his bond petition remains unclear.
