Calixto Gómez-López
Calixto Gómez-López, a 55-year-old Mexican migrant, was recently in the news due to his detention by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in El Monte, California, for driving without a valid license. ICE labeled him a 'criminal alien' based on his legal status and prior minor offenses, which has sparked significant controversy regarding the agency's focus on such non-violent infractions amid broader immigration enforcement efforts initiated under former President Donald Trump. Activists have criticized the agency's tactics, arguing they instill fear within immigrant communities, and the incident has reignited discussions around the prioritization of federal resources in immigration enforcement.
