San Diego Padres Minor League Coach Is Released From ICE Custody
DHS says his work authorization and pending asylum case do not confer legal status, while his family says he has a valid permit and remains in removal proceedings.
- San Diego Padres minor league coach Oswaldo Pirela was released on bond Monday after being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement earlier this month and returned home to Arizona.
- Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained Pirela at El Paso International Airport on August 16 during a work trip, alleging he lacked legal documentation at the time of the stop.
- Department of Homeland Security officials claimed Pirela "overstayed his welcome" after 2018, while his family disputes this account, citing a pending asylum application and valid work permit.
- The Padres confirmed Pirela's release on Tuesday, stating they are "pleased" he is reunited with his family while declining further comment on the ongoing legal matter.
- Federal detainee records show Pirela is no longer in custody following the bond release; the immigration status dispute remains unresolved as he settles back into his home in Arizona.
