Yolanda Perez-Magallón, a 50-year-old undocumented El Monte mother and caregiver for her cancer-stricken daughter, was detained by ICE for almost two weeks but has now been released on a $1,500 bond. She is wearing an ankle bracelet and is scheduled to appear in court on April 10. Her son, Jonathan Tejada, was also arrested during the ICE sweep. A video shows the agents aggressively detaining Perez-Magallón and her son. The family has been left in a difficult situation with Yolanda being the main caretaker for her daughter who is battling cancer. Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda L. Solis condemned the situation, stating that immigration policies fail to prioritize human lives and harm families. A GoFundMe page has been set up to help with the family’s legal battles, raising over $41,000. The reason for Jonathan Tejada being targeted by ICE over nonviolent crimes from several years ago remains unclear. The family is facing a challenging road ahead as they navigate through the immigration proceedings.
