Between November 2025 and February 2026, police stopped three Latino immigrants in Taylor, then contacted U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, who took custody of the men and placed them in deportation proceedings without an opportunity for a bond hearing.
The three men had crossed the Texas-Mexico border separately and had lived in the country as undocumented immigrants for 22, 15 and 14 years. In that time, they worked, started families and had no criminal records before they were detained.
