A Nicaraguan asylum-seeking student was detained by ICE after a routine check-in, disrupting his plans and prompting teachers to provide character references.Wilber Urbina Garcia, a Jordan High School graduate, was detained by immigration agents after a routine ICE check-in the morning after graduation. His family migrated from Nicaragua in late 2022 to escape political persecution and were in asylum proceedings when he was taken into custody. The family of five left their South Los Angeles home before sunrise and arrived at a federal courthouse ahead of an 8 a.m. appointment. Teachers who learned of his detention wrote character references describing him as shy but headstrong, disciplined, and dedicated to studies. #immigration-and-customs-enforcement #asylum-seekers #student-detention #nicaragua #education[|][|]
