Man swept up by ICE agents at Massachusetts gas station, his girlfriend says
- Immigration officers detained 25-year-old Daniel Orellana at a gas station in Framingham, Massachusetts, on Monday morning as he was heading to his job.
- Orellana's girlfriend and family say ICE agents mistakenly arrested him while searching for another individual, despite Orellana having no criminal record and preparing to start the asylum process.
- Orellana, who left Guatemala several years back due to threats and violence and supports his family by working and attending English classes, told his girlfriend he was held for five hours in an ICE van along with seven other individuals detained during increased immigration enforcement efforts in Massachusetts.
- Zulema Alfaro quoted Orellana saying ICE agents acknowledged the misunderstanding but proceeded with the detention, saying, "OK, but we're going to take you anyway."
- Orellana remains in immigration custody in Plymouth with legal representation, reflecting ongoing concerns about increased ICE activity and detentions of individuals with community ties in Massachusetts.
