Ariel Figueredo López

Ariel Figueredo López is a 35-year-old Cuban immigrant who arrived in the United States in April 2022, seeking a better life for himself and his family. After securing a temporary work permit through the CBP One program, he initially lived with his brother in Nebraska and worked in the solar panel industry. However, his dream of stability was shattered when he was detained by immigration authorities in Arkansas over a minor traffic violation, leading to fears of deportation back to Cuba, where he could face persecution due to his activism.
