ICE Arrests Dunmore Dad On Way To Work, Takes Young Daughter Under In‑Absentia Removal Orders

ICE arrested a Honduran single father in Dunmore, PA, as he biked to work and later took his elementary-school-aged daughter into federal custody; both reportedly have in‑absentia removal orders. The mayor said ICE did not notify local police and described the father as a noncriminal worker who missed an immigration hearing. The case fits a broader pattern of recent Pennsylvania enforcement actions targeting workers and families and raises civil-rights and child-welfare concerns. ICE has not yet commented.
