Wilber Urbina Garcia, an 18-year-old honors graduate of Jordan High School in South Los Angeles, was detained by ICE on June 10, 2026, during a routine asylum check-in at a federal courthouse the morning after his graduation ceremony. His family fled Nicaragua in late 2022 seeking asylum due to political persecution and were in asylum proceedings with valid work permits at the time. Teachers described Wilber as shy but disciplined, with leadership roles by senior year, and he had dreamed of becoming a doctor, registering for pre-med classes at El Camino College. ICE agents told the family Wilber was no longer covered under his mother's asylum case because he had turned 18, though his attorney argued he should remain tied to the case as a derivative applicant filed before age 21. He was held at Adelanto ICE Processing Center for over two weeks in conditions including sewage overflow and insufficient food, where he said older detainees treated him like family. After public defenders challenged ICE's justification, a judge ordered his release on June 26. His mother and eldest brother entered removal proceedings and were fitted with ankle monitors, and an ICE agent told the family his 17-year-old sister would face detention upon turning 18.
