Florida Pastor Arrested by ICE: Community Outraged

A Florida community is in shock after ICE arrested their pastor, Maurilio Ambrocio, a Guatemalan national who has lived in the US for two decades. The arrest occurred on April 18th during Ambrocio's routine annual check-in with immigration authorities. His daughter, Ashley, described the traumatic experience: "I didn't even get to say goodbye. We thought nothing would happen." The incident has sparked outrage among Ambrocio's congregation and the wider community, including non-Hispanic residents. Cathy Kimin, a resident of Little Manatee River, stated, "I don't know how any good Christian could tolerate this. To take innocent people who have worked here for 20 years and have done nothing but good things..." While ICE has yet to provide a statement, the video highlights the emotional toll on the Ambrocio family and their community. The story underscores the ongoing debate surrounding immigration policies in the US and the human cost of these policies. The outpouring of support from the community offers a glimmer of hope amidst the sadness.
