North Miami man detained by ICE while taking out trash, family demands answers and justice
The family of a man taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Miami is demanding his release, saying he has no criminal record and that federal authorities have not told them why he was detained.
“My husband, a father living in the United States, married to an American citizen with no criminal record, has been unjustly detained by ICE,” wrote the family of Eduardo Nuñez Gonzalez, a Cuban man with Spanish citizenship.
In the online petition, the family writes that “[our] father’s unexpected detention has shattered our family and left a void in our lives.”
“This is an injustice against him and against all families who are being separated without cause,” the family writes in the petition. “We demand justice for our family.”

Throughout Vilma Perez Delgado’s home, there are pictures of her and her husband, Eduardo Nuñez Gonzalez, scattered about.
The last time she saw her husband of five years was on Thursday, March 20.
“Can I say goodbye to him? They said no, he’s already been detained,” she recalled asking the men who knocked on her front door and detained him.
Video shows the moment that morning when Eduardo was taking out the trash. A man can be seen slowly walking, and then runs to approach him. Other men also appear in the video, detaining him just steps from his front door.
The video was taken on a security camera outside Vilma’s North Miami home. And this all happened while Vilma was inside.
The men who detained her partner of more than 30 years couldn’t give her a reason as to why, so she called an attorney to help her. That attorney is still looking for answers as to why her husband was taken.
