"Nicaraguan journalist Luis Galeano, director of [the interview program] Café con Voz, was detained the morning of Sept. 14 in Orlando, Florida, by agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
His wife, Deykel Santamaría, confirmed that Galeano was detained while driving an Uber car […]. News of his detention prompted numerous reactions from members of the Nicaraguan opposition and journalism community.
[…]
Juan Sebastián Chamorro, spokesperson for the [opposition group in exile] Grupo Monteverde, expressed solidarity with Galeano, his wife and his family, saying that 'Luis is a distinguished Nicaraguan journalist who has fought for freedom of expression, for truth, for justice, in Nicaragua.' If he were deported to Nicaragua, 'his life would be at extreme risk,' he warned.
[…]
Galeano has an active and pending asylum case and has extensive ‘documentation proving that he was persecuted.’"
