Alberto Lovo Rojas
Alberto Lovo Rojas is a 42-year-old Nicaraguan asylum seeker who fled his home country in 2018 due to political persecution during a violent crackdown on anti-government protests. Living in Spokane, Washington, he had been checking in regularly with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) while working legally and supporting his family. Despite complying with immigration requirements, Rojas was arrested by ICE outside a barbershop in February 2025, raising concerns for his safety if deported back to Nicaragua.
