On March 20, Cuban national Eduardo Nuñez Gonzalez, a resident of North Miami, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents while taking out the trash at his home. Less than three weeks later he told his wife that he would prefer deportation over enduring the deplorable conditions at the New Mexico facility he is currently held in.

After spending three days at the Krome Detention Center in Miami-Dade County, Nuñez Gonzalez was transferred to the Broward Transitional Center in Pompano Beach and then to the Torrance County Detention Facility in New Mexico.
