Colombian asylum applicant detained by ICE after three years on parole

Jun 12, 2026 · Rialto, CA, Colombia

Dency Javier Ayala-Barrios, a Colombian national fleeing persecution by the Clan del Golfo, entered the United States without inspection in May 2023 and was released on parole. He obtained employment authorization, maintained steady work, filed taxes, and complied with parole conditions for three years while his asylum application was pending. On June 12, 2026, ICE arrested him in Rialto, California without providing notice or basis for arrest. The court ordered his immediate release, finding his re-detention violated due process rights and that no legitimate government interest supported his detention given his established ties and compliance history.
