Biography
Miguel Alcudia Gamas is a Migrant Justice farmworker organizer detained by ICE on September 22, 2016. A federal complaint alleged that officers used Vermont motor-vehicle records to target him and warned that another organizer would be next. Migrant Justice's October 14, 2016 update reports that he was released the previous night, October 13, after ICE waived his bond. Release ended this detention, not his immigration proceedings. This is a historical custody outcome, not a claim about his present immigration status.
