""González's arrest has put his brother's life on the line...Pacheco is now in 100 percent kidney failure and faces an indeterminate wait for a new kidney...""
""González, 43, came to the U.S. in 2024 intent on donating a kidney, but was issued a removal order after authorities determined he did not have a 'credible fear' of persecution at home...""
José Gregorio González was arrested by ICE while preparing to donate a kidney to his brother, José Alfredo Pacheco, who requires emergency medical assistance. Their planned surgery is now uncertain due to González's detention, which immigration advocates describe as a betrayal of humanitarian principles, especially given the urgency of Pacheco's medical state. Following a brief release under supervision after failing to meet deportation criteria, González's situation highlights critical issues surrounding immigration policies and their implications for familial and health-related matters.
