An independent wrestler has been arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Nicolth Hernandez-Lucero, who primarily works out of the Florida area was taken into custody and is being held in a Pompano Beach facility.
Her husband, Noah Lazega, had to listen to the incident on his cell phone.
“Is there a reason that I got stopped?” Hernandez-Lucero asks in the audio clip.
All the agents told her is she was being detained and didn’t not reveal why they initially stopped her.
“I’m just listening, just in shock. I can’t believe what’s happening,” he told NBC 6.
According to Lazega, his wife is originally from Colombia but moved to the USA when she was 15. She is currently 24-years-old. She is a surgical technician at a local hospital.
Justin Gould, her attorney claims Hernandez-Lucero entered the country legally and has been working for asylum status.
“So now it is basically everybody’s illegal unless otherwise noted, and it’s just not OK,” Gould told NBC6. “This is not what the president promised.”
Lazega is hoping everything will be sorted out soon.
“I hope we can get her out, get her help, raise awareness to other people that are going through this right now. They don’t deserve this. Nobody deserves this,” he said.
Hernandez-Lucero was trained by Gangrel. He posted a message of support:
In his Go Fund Me for her. Lazega states:
My wife, Nicolth, is a dedicated surgical tech and a beloved member of our community. She has always gone above and beyond to help others, both in and out of the operating room. Her compassion, selflessness, and commitment to caring for those around her have touched the lives of so many people. Nicolth is not only a model citizen, but also my deeply loving wife, and her absence has left a huge void in our lives.
Recently, Nicolth was detained by ICE despite having entered the country legally, holding a valid work permit, and having a pending asylum case. She is currently being held in a detention facility, and the circumstances of her detention have been incredibly distressing for our family and everyone who knows her. The legal process to fight for her release is complex and the fees are rapidly accruing, putting a tremendous financial strain on us during an already difficult time.
What makes this even more heartbreaking is that we were due to have our wedding ceremony on the 28th of this month. Although we were legally married in December last year, we had been looking forward to celebrating our love with friends and family. Her detainment has taken that special day from us, adding to the pain and uncertainty we are facing.
We are reaching out to our friends, family, and community for help. Your support—whether it’s a kind word, a message, or a donation—means the world to us. Nicolth and I are deeply grateful for each and every one of you. Anything you can do to help, from sharing this fundraiser to offering words of encouragement, will make a difference. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with us and helping us fight for Nicolth’s freedom.
