Guillermo Medina Reyes, a Bay Area tattoo artist, has received a two-day reprieve from ICE detention amid ongoing concerns of deportation and his recent arrest for vandalism. He faces the possibility of spending up to 18 months in ICE detention without a hearing. A federal court judge is expected to decide on Thursday whether he will be granted a bond hearing or face immediate detention. Medina Reyes expressed uncertainty about the long-term implications of his situation and the emotional toll it takes on individuals facing deportation.
"Some people spend two years, three years and they still get deported. You question yourself the whole time while you are there, is it worth it to spend two years here because at the end of the day, I still may get deported."
"Immigration authorities say he violated the terms of his release after a recent arrest for vandalism."
