Ramiro Santiago Pacheco Martinez, a 53-year-old day laborer who has lived in Pomona, California for nearly two decades with no criminal record, was detained by Border Patrol/ICE agents on November 13, 2025 while waiting at a bus stop to get diabetes medication. He has serious health conditions including congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, diabetes, and a pacemaker, with a history of heart attacks. His daughter, Jax Santana, says he has not consistently received his medication while in custody at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center, and according to community members, faith leaders, and advocates, he was denied heart medication for two weeks and required emergency heart surgery while detained. On January 21, 2026, community members rallied to demand his release, and the Pomona City Council subsequently passed a resolution calling on ICE to release him. Local, state, and federal lawmakers have written to the Department of Homeland Security seeking his release.
