Padres coach detained by ICE at El Paso airport while returning home

Padres roving catching coordinator Oswaldo Pirela was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at El Paso International Airport while traveling for work. DHS says Pirela entered the U.S. from Venezuela in 2014 and overstayed his permission in 2018; he does not have valid work authorization, though his brother provided a permit showing it runs 2024–2029. The Padres said they are gathering information and have no further comment. Pirela, based in Peoria, Ariz., has worked in the organization since 2024 (bench coach in Lake Elsinore, then catching coordinator in 2025) and travels to its minor league affiliates. He remains in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.

Immigration Judge Drops Deportation Case for Tufts PhD Student Detained Amid Pro-Palestinian Activism

An immigration judge terminated removal proceedings against Tufts University PhD student Rümeysa Öztürk after the Department of Homeland Security failed to prove removability, with court filings showing little evidence of terrorist activity and tying visa revocation to a campus op-ed criticizing Israel. Öztürk, who had been detained for weeks, was released and allowed to resume research as she addresses the immigration consequences; her attorneys say the ruling affirms fairness in enforcement and could bolster others facing actions tied to pro-Palestinian speech.

Authorities uncover alleged human smuggling scheme, arrest 17 immigrants in Lisbon Falls.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials are investigating a human smuggling scheme in Maine after 17 undocumented immigrants from Nicaragua and Guatemala were removed from a home in Lisbon Falls. The immigrants were working for a Massachusetts-based company, and their employer rented the home they were staying in. Two of the immigrants were found to have re-entered the U.S. after being forcibly removed, which is a felony. Four others were found to have entered the U.S. illegally and were already in removal proceedings, while the remaining immigrants will now undergo removal proceedings.
