Adam Carrasquillo tells the story of Jesus Teran, who fled oppression in Venezuela, where he was trained to be a civil engineer, and became a carpenter in the US. He went for a check-in at the ICE office in Pittsburgh and was arrested on July 8, though he's followed all laws.

“They detained me simply because of my tattoos. I am not a criminal.”
“Just in case something happens to me, so you can be aware.”
A month later, he was gone.
