Henryy Albornoz-Quintero (29) and his partner, Nays (22) came to the US legally with CBP One app in November 2024. Nays found work in a kitchen and Henryy worked as a mechanic. Then in January 2025, at a routine ICE check-in, Henryy was taken into custody. By that time, Nays was 7 months pregnant and frantic. She hired a lawyer who started working on his case.
Things were looking good for the little family, as the immigration lawyer thought it was likely for Henryy to be released after his court date in early April. Maybe he would even be out for the baby’s birth, Nays hoped. But in March, Nays, who checked constantly, could suddenly no longer find his name on the ICE inmates website.
When she saw the video of the men taken to Venezuela, her heart dropped. Like many other families, she scoured the footage and found her husband, head shaved and looking distraught in one image.
Nays gave birth to her son without Henryy in April in Texas. She prays that her family will be reunited and that her baby boy will not grow up without his father.
