Please spread the word to help bring Agustin and Gustavo home! “Agustin Baccega and Gustavo Romanello flew to Arizona from Orlando on Saturday to attend the funeral of a friend who died a day earlier. But when they arrived at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, Baccega was immediately grabbed by plainclothes Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. Their friend, Jonathan Batchelor, was on the phone with Romanello as he demanded answers. Romanello was then taken, too. “They started asking him questions, and then one of them said, ‘Do you have another pair of cuffs? There’s another one,’” said Batchelor, a longtime friend of the couple. They are now in detention in Arizona pending possible deportation. Baccega and Romanello, who are married, moved to the United States from Argentina in 2020. According to their friends, they petitioned for asylum and have up-to-date work permits. They had since built a life — first in Arizona and later Orlando — as acrobatic performers, eventually working at Universal’s “The Untrainable Dragon” live show at Epic Universe. Baccega also works for the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority and as a performer at the Pirates Dinner Adventure dinner show in Kissimmee. A GOAA spokesperson who confirmed his employment there said they are in touch with his attorneys as they learn more about what happened. Romanello, a recent Full Sail University graduate with a degree in animation, has been a contracted stunt performer for Universal since 2025 and is an aspiring animator for movies.
