Juez decide que padre de hija que lucha contra el cáncer es retenido ilegalmente y merece ser liberado

OMG, this is so unfair ! Rubén Torres Maldonado has been living in the US with his family for over 18 years and has two American-born kids . And now he's being held without bail because of a misunderstanding? It's like they're treating him like an immigrant all over again, even though he's been here for so long .

And what about the impact on his sick daughter Ofelia? She needs her dad to be there for her during this tough time, but now she's going through chemo and radoterapia without him . It's heartbreaking to think that the government is making them choose between their love for each other and the law .

The judge got it right, though - a bail hearing is necessary . I just hope this situation gets resolved soon so Rubén can be reunited with his family .

I'm so worried about Rubén, his family is already going through a tough time with his daughter's illness . I don't get why the authorities are being so strict here, he's been living in the US for over 20 years and has built a life there . He's even got kids who are American citizens! It just seems like he's getting treated unfairly . And now that his arrest has caused so much stress to his daughter's treatment, it's not right . I hope the judge was reasonable in granting him a bail hearing .

I'm so worried about this guy Rubén Torres Maldonado ... He been living in the US for like, 22 years with his family and contributing as a painter. His daughter is going through some tough times with cancer treatment and now he's stuck in immigration limbo? It's just not fair. The government needs to get its act together and prioritize people over paperwork. I mean, we all know the immigration system is a mess, but this guy's situation takes the cake ... He's been living here, paying taxes, building a life... What's his "crime" again? Anyway, kudos to the judge for giving him a chance to plead his case

I don't think this is a big deal... Like, who really cares if this guy's in the US or not? He's got two kids who are American citizens, so what's the harm? And let's be real, he's been here for like 20 years already... The fact that his daughter is sick and needs her parents to care for her is way more important than some immigration nonsense. I mean, if the gov can't handle a situation like this, maybe they should be looking at themselves instead of this guy. And what's with all the drama about him not cooperating during the arrest? Like, who does that?

OH MY GOSH, THIS IS JUST SO SAD!!! Rubén Torres Maldonado's situation is just heartbreaking, especially with his young daughter struggling with such a tough illness and now her whole family is being torn apart because of the ICE arrest! As someone who loves art (he works as a painter btw) you would think he'd be able to provide for himself but I guess the system failed him. The fact that he's been living here with his partner and two US-born kids for 20 years makes it even more crazy that he was detained. How can we expect people to assimilate when they're not treated as human beings?!

I'm so glad a judge finally saw sense and ordered a bail hearing, but what about the long-term consequences of this? Will his daughter continue with her treatment without her dad's support? It's just one big mess and I hope they can get some justice for this poor family ASAP!
