- A Hale County family pleads for change after a Moundville husband and father was detained by ICE. Santiago Benitez is currently in the Pickens County Jail awaiting transfer to a Louisiana detention center.
Benitez was taken after his voluntary U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services interview in Montgomery for his approved I-130.
Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, is a document filed by a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident with USCIS to establish a qualifying relationship with an alien relative who wishes to immigrate to the United States.
According to his family, Santiago has no criminal history—his only immigration issue was a re-entry to the United States from 13 years ago. Since then, he has built a life as a tax-paying, hard-working father and husband. He worked six days a week to provide for his family and has already spent over $12,000 in immigration attorney fees trying to secure his legal status.
