ICE arrests Madison nanny in Milwaukee: ‘Like losing another member of our family’- Trumpziism cruelty 😨😥❗

A Madison family is in shock after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (evil👿 ICE) agents arrested their nanny of two and half years in Milwaukee last week, the latest local residents to feel the effects of cruel

 Donald Trump’s continued immigration crackdown.

Linsey Callejo and her husband, Alfonso, said they hired Dailin Pacheco in February 2023, because they wanted to make sure their daughter, Constance, was cared for by a Spanish-speaking nanny. Alfonso is a native Spanish speaker and the couple believe it’s important to preserve his language for their daughter.

“Dailin has just been a wonderful nanny for Constance. They have so much fun together, and she's just so patient and kind and caring,” Callejo said. “And (Constance’s) Spanish has really blossomed since.”

Pacheco, who  is 27 years old, is more than just a nanny for Constance, now 3 years old, but a support for Callejo. 

She and her husband  recently went through a difficult time.

“Now it feels like we’re losing another member of our family,” Callejo said of Pacheco, her voice cracking with emotion.

Pacheco and her husband, Diego Ugarte, arrived in the United States from Venezuela in November 2021. They crossed the Southern border into Texas, filed for asylum and were released into the United States with an I-220A immigration form. The form is commonly referred to as “release under orders of recognizance,” meaning an immigrant is allowed to enter into the United States as long as they follow certain rules and procedures including appearing for all immigration court hearings and annual check-ins with immigration officials — one of which Pacheco and her husband were attending in Milwaukee last week.

They had received work authorization and Social Security numbers, paid taxes and followed all the rules, Callejo said.

Last Thursday, Pacheco and Ugarte, 31, went to Milwaukee for an annual check-in with immigration officials required of all immigrants with pending asylum requests. Typically these meetings involve a standard review of information related to the asylum case like contact information and residential address, but instead ICE agents arrested the couple and the two were separated.

“We knew that she had the meeting (in Milwaukee). And of course, we were all a little anxious, given the current environment for immigrants,” Callejo said. “But she wanted to go to the meeting because we thought, you know, surely not going to the meeting would be worse than going.”

Pacheco’s arrest at the asylum meeting is part of a larger trend nationwide in which immigrants who are told to follow certain annual procedures are arrested at mandatory check-ins. Critics say it penalizes migrants who are trying to follow the rules.

In June, a Cuban asylum seeker living in McFarland was arrested at a court hearing in Miami, Florida under similar circumstances. He was later released.

Callejo was traveling the morning of the arrest but Pacheco called Callejo’s husband, Alfonso, to tell the couple she had been arrested.

“She called my husband Thursday morning, and said ‘They're not letting me go. They're going to place me under arrest,’” Callejo said. “And she was just so scared and didn't know what to do.”

After the call, Callejo said, Pacheco’s phone was confiscated.
