Overview
- ICE’s detainee locator shows the parents and their 7-year-old daughter are confined at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas after an initial transfer through Tacoma.
- Agents arrested the family on Jan. 16 in Adventist Health Portland’s emergency parking lot as the parents sought care for a severe nosebleed, and the child never saw a doctor, according to reporting.
- Family members report the child developed a fever in custody and did not receive timely medical attention at the detention facility.
- Adventist Health says it was not contacted by law enforcement and did not coordinate the arrest.
- The parents are Venezuelan asylum seekers who entered via a CBP appointment in 2024 and received a 2028 immigration court date, as Oregon officials call for urgent medical care and due process.
