luigarciaaa My father‑in‑law, Ariel Arias, was taken by ICE agents today in Houston. Our family is heartbroken and searching for answers. Ariel is a hardworking, kind man — a husband, father, and grandfather who deserves dignity and due process. Earlier today, in the morning of September 23rd, 2026 sometime around 7am ICE agents abducted and unlawfully picked up my father in law as he was getting ready to go to work this morning in his residential parking lot. He lives in Houston in the 29th congressional district. I am asking for the help of @repsylviagarcia and her office to help and locate him. It is important to locate him to know he is safe and can get access to his medication he has a heart condition and needs his medication before his health becomes detrimental. We are urgently calling on Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia (TX‑29), Congressman Greg Casar, and Congressman Joaquin Castro to help us locate Ariel and ensure his rights are protected. These leaders have stood up for immigrant families before, and we need their voices now. If you have contacts with immigration attorneys, advocacy groups, or know how to navigate ICE detention in Houston, please reach out. Families like ours shouldn’t face this alone. Everything we know now is that it takes 24-48 for ICE agents to process people into the system so we have m no idea where he could be between the 3 main detention centers. 📞 Rep. Sylvia Garcia’s Houston Office: 832‑325‑3150 📞 Rep. Greg Casar’s Office: 512‑912‑5950 📞 Rep. Joaquin Castro’s Office: 210‑348‑8216 View all 20 comments
