A Maryland pastor who has led a small Hispanic congregation since 2015 is being held at a detention center in Louisiana after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested him last week.
Daniel Fuentes Espinal, a 54-year-old father of three, is reportedly preaching to detainees at Winn Correctional Center in Winn Parish, Louisiana, while waiting to face an immigration judge to request bond.
“He’s a remarkably resilient man, and for all of the trauma that he has been subjected to and the stress that’s been inflicted upon him and on his family, he is upbeat and his spirits are good,” Len Foxwell, a spokesperson for the family, told Maryland Matters.
