The family of a Latino father of three is worried that his health condition will worsen if he remains in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody.
The family has been voicing concerns for nearly a month, and assisted by the immigrant rights group Make The Road New York, has been calling for his immediate release from detention and for his deportation to be stayed.
Their calls intensified this week after Edward Alonso-Castillo, 48, a small-business owner in New York City who has a standing order of removal against him following several charges, was hospitalized with severe chest pains while in ICE custody.
“Every day that Alonso spends detained puts his life at greater risk," his partner, Rocio Molina, said in a statement.
Alonso-Castillo first came to the United States as a teenager. He and Molina now co-own Babylon Bagel, a small business in Long Island.
Under former President Donald Trump, undocumented immigrants with any kind of prior criminal record were a priority for deportation, but that changed under President Joe Biden.
Alonso-Castillo was convicted on a charge of criminal contempt in 2006 and on a charge of transferring false identification in 2007, which are often considered misdemeanors. He was deported to Mexico at the time and later returned to the U.S. "at an unknown time and location," according to ICE. Last year, he was arrested and charged with third-degree assault, also considered a misdemeanor, by New York Police Department officers. Those charges are currently pending, ICE said.

Good.
Too bad. Hopefully he is deported before he dies, which saves us the money of burying him or returning his dead carcass back to wherever he belongs. Good riddance.
Stroke survivor and experiencing symptoms again?
We are short on money to cover our own sick, the ones who paid in all their lives, you take up limited resources.
Perhaps a church will come forward and cover ALL of your healthcare, otherwise go home to your country and they can support you.
Because he would have voted for Sniffer and the Ho, he deserves a pardon.
He has broken into the country more than once. He doesn’t think laws apply to him. He needs to go home.
My god STFU with these sob stories as Americans are desperate and suffering!
we have people running the country that believe laws don’t apply to them...
Indeed. Unfortunately, they can’t be swiftly deported.
Fetch me my clutching pearls and take me to my fainting couch. POOR POOR POOR illegal immigrant. His only crime was breaking the law. What’s wrong with that???
Funny. Under Obamatard’s regime, had one of the biggest deportation numbers in 8 years. The illegal alien kids in cages, was one of his signature “immigration” policies.
Deport him IMMEDIATELY so he can get treatment RIGHT AWAY in MEXICO!
IF his heart is really that bad, he is lucky he survived getting across the Rio Grande.
