Sara López García

Sara López García is a 20-year-old Colombian woman who gained media attention after being detained by ICE agents in Long Island while preparing for her upcoming wedding in August. Her arrest, which has sparked outrage among immigrant rights activists, occurred on May 21, 2023, as part of a broader crackdown on undocumented immigrants by the Trump administration. López, who has no criminal record, was detained alongside her mother and younger brother, despite the fact that the ICE agents were originally seeking a different individual. Her fiancé, Santiago Ruiz, has since started a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for her legal representation.
