John Theis, a Venezuelan singer and rapper, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on August 22, 2026. His wife, Marley Molina, along with music industry colleagues including producer Junior Caldera and singer ADSO, confirmed his arrest and launched a campaign using the hashtag #FreeJohnTheis calling for his release. His wife has since said he was transferred by private flight from Florida to a detention facility in Indiana. His supporters say he has no criminal record and expressed concern that he is being linked to criminal organizations based solely on his tattoos.
