Sergio Cerdio Gomez, a Washington state food truck owner from Mexico who has lived in the U.S. for more than 25 years, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in late April after appearing for an immigration appointment alongside his wife, a U.S. citizen.Gabby Cerdio, his wife, previously told Newsweek that she believed he was detained on a warrant from "him entering the country illegally." But after speaking with her legal team, she said they "have no record of a warrant."Newsweek has reached out to ICE and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for comment via email on Thursday.Why It Matters Gomez's detention comes amid an immigration crackdown under the Trump administration, during which people with all kinds of immigration statuses, including those with valid documentation, such as green cards or visas, have been detained and face legal jeopardy.President Donald Trump vowed to prevent undocumented immigrants with criminal histories or backgrounds from entering and staying in the U.S. He has pledged to launch the largest mass deportation operation in U.S. history and has detained and deported thousands of people since retaking office.

The couple met in 2014 and were married in 2022, sharing two children together, 5 and 10 months, and a 17-year-old from a previous marriage.He first entered the United States in 1998 at age 14 and, according to The Seattle Times, has crossed the border multiple times in the years that followed. In 2023, his wife filed an I-130 petition on his behalf to begin the process of obtaining a green card. His wife told Newsweek that her husband "doesn't have any visa."The couple were notified of an immigration interview scheduled for 1 p.m. on April 24. They arrived with their paperwork, but an officer asked Cerdio to wait while they spoke with her husband. Shortly after, she was informed that he had been taken into custody on an arrest warrant, something she said came as a surprise.Cerdio said her husband has no criminal record, and Newsweek has not found any public records indicating otherwise.The family food business, which started two-years ago in April 2023, remains in operation, with updates to their hours on their Facebook page. On April 29, Cerdio wrote that the truck is still open, but "I will be MIA from the truck today as we are heading to Tacoma to see Sergio!""Currently no updates. It's a waiting game to get his court hearing date," Cerdio told Newsweek in an email, adding that she is able to communicate with her husband virtually while he is in detention.Other immigrants have also been detained after appearing at Department of Homeland Security (DHS) offices, including Mohsen Mahdawi, a U.S. permanent resident for 10 years who was detained by ICE agents in Colchester, Vermont during a naturalization interview, Cliona Ward, has been held at San Francisco International Airport after delivering requested paperwork, and Rosmery Alvarado after appearing at a USCIS field office, among others. What People Are Saying Gabby Cerdio said in a statement to The Seattle Times: "He does everything right. My husband is not a criminal. He's a good man. He's a family man."Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin previously told Newsweek about another immigration case: "The Trump Administration is giving parents in this country illegally the opportunity to self deport and take control of their departure process with the potential ability to return the legal, right way and come back to live the American dream. CBP Home is free and for all mobile devices."What Happens Next Cerdio told Newsweek that Gomez is being held in the Tacoma Northwest Detention Center. Newsweek could not confirm his status in the ICE online detention database on Thursday morning.The family has retained a lawyer. In an April 28 Facebook post Hibachi Explosion wrote, "we are going to push for a court hearing hoping to get one within the next 3 weeks!"
