Perez Martin Fights to Stay in U.S. | Virginia Beach News
Description
A viral ICE detention video of Perez Martin—caught on camera face-down, struggling to breathe—sparked outrage after he was held for nine days. Now speaking out, he reveals he was pulled over on his way to work with his brother and coworker, and despite medical offers he initially declined out of fear. When pain worsened, he was shackled for transport to the hospital—a chilling moment that made him question his fate. Refusing to return to a dangerous homeland he paid $14,000 to flee, he’s now fighting to stay in the U.S., with his father urging him to fight. He’s asking for help to cover legal fees, bond, and basic living costs—his next court date is July 27th.
