My name is Victor Rodriguez, and I’m fundraising for my dad, Victor Rodriguez Ocampo, the heart and soul behind La Playa Taco Shop in Pacific Beach. Recently, he was taken by ICE and is now being held at the Otay Mesa Detention Center, where our family believes he is being mistreated and malnourished. My dad is a strong family man who has always put others before himself, supporting our family, his employees, and the incredible community he’s built through his small business. La Playa Taco Shop has become more than just a place to eat; it’s a gathering spot where he’s welcomed everyone with kindness and generosity.

This sudden and devastating situation has left our family in shock and struggling to keep things together. We are deeply worried about his health and safety, and we’re doing everything we can to bring him home. The funds raised will help us fight for his safety and well-being, keep our family and business afloat during this difficult time, and spread awareness of what’s happening not just to him, but to many others in similar situations.

We’re asking for your support whether it’s a donation or simply sharing our story. Any contribution or share truly means the world to us and brings us one step closer to reuniting our family and keeping my dad’s legacy alive in our community.
