ICE detains father in Washington state; pregnant wife pleads, 'I just want him home'

ICE detained an expectant father in Washington state just months before his wife is scheduled to give birth.

On Friday morning, Guilherme Lemes Cardoso E Silva was on his way to pick up his daughter in Friday Harbor on San Juan Island, about 100 miles north of Seattle, when multiple unmarked ICE vehicles containing masked agents stopped him on a private road near his home, according to his wife, Rachel Leidig.

Silva, originally from Brazil, is a 35-year-old visual artist currently based in Washington state. Photos posted to his Instagram account show some of his colorful work that can be seen across the country.

Silva has no criminal record or outstanding warrants, Leidig said. Silva and Leidig were working with an immigration attorney and in the process of submitting an application to legalize his residency status in the U.S. when Silva was detained. After his detainment, Leidig submitted an I-130 form, or a "petition for alien relative." He was also in the process of renewing his work permit, Leidig said.

Seems like they went through a lot of trouble to get him. To get to San Juan Island one either has to take the ferry or fly in.

I wonder if some of his work pissed somebody off.
Any artist or journalist or writer who has a foreign last name & whose work goes against or questions this administration is gonna be a target.
