RICHMOND, Va. — A Richmond mother said an early morning phone call from her son is how she learned that he would soon be in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
The mother, who said her name is Jessica, said she got a phone call around 5:45 a.m. Wednesday morning from her son Ricardo Martinez-Cantarero, 21, when he was attempting to go to his job as a construction worker and was stopped by ICE agents.
“I asked them, ‘What’s wrong my child?’ And the next thing I heard was that they broke the windows of his car,” Jessica said through an interpreter. She said by the time she ran to where his car was, he was gone. “I stood there like crazy, screaming, and I called the police, and I said, ‘I don’t know where my son is.'”…
