Pastor Detained by ICE Amid Florida Arrests Surge

A pastor, Francisco Javier Grisales-Jaramillo, with dual Colombian and Spanish citizenship, was detained by ICE agents in Florida while en route to his pregnant niece experiencing serious health complications. His family asserts he has no criminal record and is legally in the U.S. on a tourist visa, awaiting an asylum application, though DHS states he overstayed his visa. The family describes his arrest as sudden and impersonal, alleging poor detention conditions and emotional distress. Grisales-Jaramillo reportedly fled threats from gangs in Spain and Colombia and sought asylum in the U.S. His immigration hearing is scheduled for August 4, 2025.
