On Feb. 25, Kevin Zaldaña Ramírez, 20, tried to tell the immigration agents that showed up at a Houston-area construction site where he worked that he had a special immigration status for minors fleeing abuse or neglect. But they detained him anyway, his mother Yolanda Ramírez said at a press conference Thursday.
Zaldaña Ramírez’s detention has left his mother, who is visually impaired, without her sole provider. He paid for their rent, electricity and utilities with his construction job and did all the errands, such as grocery shopping.
“My son is not a criminal, he’s just a young worker,” his mom Yolanda, 47, said. “He’s the one who supports me with all of our expenses.”
