El 2 de octubre 2025 a las 1.15 mi esposo Edwin Quiñones Rojas fue detenido por agentes de inmigración ICE. Él era el chico que vendía fruta debajo del puente en la Cicero y la I 55. Es un hombre honrado, trabajador, respetuoso que con carisma se ganó el cariño de mucho de sus clientes con la bondad de regalarle frutas a personas que en el momento no tenían sencillo o algo parecido. Tenía 7 meses trabajando todos los días allí. Debido a su captura yo quedé sola con mi hijo de 8 años en este país. No sé cómo hacer para que me lo cuiden para yo poder salir a trabajar. Me da miedo que me agarren a mi. Todavía mi esposo está detenido en Arizona. No sabemos que va pasar con él. Mi hijo sufre mucho por su papá ya que él es muy apegado a él y todos los días lo espera. Es una situación muy fuerte sin saber que hacer como trabajar aferrada a Dios y me ayude esta situación tan fuerte.

On October 2, 2025, at 1:15 p.m., my husband Edwin Quiñones Rojas was detained by ICE. He sold fruit under the bridge at Cicero and I-55. He is an honest, hard-working, respectful man who, with his charisma, won the hearts of many of his customers by giving away fruit to people who at the time didn't have cash. He had been working there every day for seven months. Due to his arrest, I was left alone with my eight-year-old son in this country. I don't have childcare so I have difficulty going out to work. I'm afraid they'll catch me. My husband is still detained in Arizona. We don't know what will happen to him. My son suffers a lot because he is very attached to his father and waits for him every day. It's a very difficult situation, not knowing what to do, how to work, having faith in God to help me through this difficult situation.
