Benjamin Guerrero-Cruz is an 18-year-old who gained national attention after being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) while walking his dog in Los Angeles.

His situation has sparked public outcry and legislative efforts aimed at reforming the notification process for families of detainees.
