Culver City ice cream vendor returns home after months in ICE detention

[SunSeeker]

Enrique Lozano, who has lived in Los Angeles for nearly 20 years, was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in June while selling ice cream along Culver Boulevard. His arrest, which left his cart abandoned in the street, prompted concern among residents who had known him for years.

Community members raised funds, hired attorneys, and launched a campaign supporting Lozano. “When he was taken away, it shook this community,” said Fred Delgado, a Culver City resident.

After four months in ICE detention, Lozano was granted permanent residency through his wife, a U.S. resident, according to his attorney, Ebony Espinoza. 

Lozano, who has no criminal record, celebrated his release by giving away free ice cream at Veterans Park to thank those who supported him.

5. For every good story like this, how many tragic ones?

If the Trump administration really wanted to expel dangerous undocumented criminals, it would partner with and provide additional resources to local governments.

Instead, I.C.E. agents are terrorizing communities including legal residents and citizens. They are committing brutal acts of violence, abducting law abiding people contributing to our economy.

Their strategy is not to quell violence, but to provoke it. They are itching to declare martial law before the midterm elections. Trump and his cohorts who tried to overturn the 2020 presidential results intend to sieze the ballots in 2026, under the guise of "election integrity."

The highest priority of every authoritarian regime is to maintain its grip on power. They will do ANYTHING to ensure one-party rule next year and beyond.

Trump will put on an ostentatious display of patriotism to commemorate the 250th anniversary of America's great experiment in democracy, while utterly destroying it.
