Dallas man pleads for wife’s release after ICE detention during immigration check-in
DALLAS – ICE maintains it’s primarily targeting criminals, especially violent ones. One detainee does not exactly fit the DHS’s narrative.
ICE detention at immigration interview
Local perspective:
In 2023, Jason Quiroga met the woman who’d become his wife. Niury Guerra was from Cuba, living in Miami, but visiting family in Dallas. The two dated long-distance before making a forever commitment in North Texas.
“You know my wife is not from here, she’s from Cuba,” said Quiroga.
“And she told me that she just wanted a simple life. You know, before she moved, I said, ‘Look, you live in Miami. There are beaches, it’s beautiful weather,’ I live in Dallas, and it’s extremely hot, and sometimes it’s extremely cold and then there are no beaches, and she just said, ‘I want to be with you and I want to start a life with you.’”
In 2024, they married and had a baby girl, Niah, now 15-months-old. The next step was to get her green card.
“I have a petition filed for her. We’re married, I’m a U.S. citizen, we have a child together, a 1-year-old. She’s a caregiver for my father, who’s a veteran,” said Quiroga.
Earlier this month, however, Guerra was arrested by ICE while checking in for a scheduled appointment in Dallas.
“We’ve been to every hearing. We’ve been to every check-in,” said the husband.
Immigration violations and past removal
What they’re saying:
An ICE spokesperson says Guerra was “previously removed” after attempting to “enter the United States under a fraudulent Peruvian passport” in 2018.
It says Guerra “illegally re-entered through the southwest border on August 9, 2022, a felony offense.”
There’s no record of Guerra committing crimes after illegally entering the U.S.
“Why is it happening? She’s not a criminal, not by any means,” said Quiroga.
“I don’t know what to do.”
For now, all Quiroga can do is share his family’s story, hoping for grace.
“We need an act of God, and we have a lot of faith and I still have some hope, but it sure is hard to be that protector when, ultimately, I have no idea where this story’s going to end,” he said.
What’s next for Niury Guerra?
What’s next:
Guerra is being held at a detention center about 200 miles west of Dallas-Fort Worth.

1. Dorance Armstrong Jr., EDGE, Commanders
This one makes too much sense to me to not talk about.
Dorance Armstrong is a player the Commanders could cut ties with to save some cap space. For Dallas, this would not be some mystery evaluation because the Cowboys know exactly who Armstrong is.
They drafted him, and watched him grow into a dependable pass rusher.
I’m not saying Dorance Armstrong is some game-wrecking superstar, but he’s an edge defender who can give good snaps, set the edge, chase quarterbacks, and fit into a rotation without needing the whole defense built around him.
The NFC East part gives it extra spice, too. Bringing back a former Cowboy from Washington would get some attention, but the football part is what sells it. Dallas needs waves of pressure and Armstrong brings another wave.
2. Uchenna Nwosu, EDGE/LB, Seahawks
Uchenna Nwosu is the kind of name that doesn’t scream headline, but fits the job description.
Seattle’s roster lists Nwosu as a linebacker, and shows him at 6’2, 265 pounds with nine years of experience. He is credited with seven sacks during the Seahawks’ 2025 season.
That’s the kind of veteran pass rusher I would love to see Dallas pick up if the money doesn’t get weird.
Nwosu isn’t a luxury piece, but he is insurance. He’s the type of player I feel would keep the Cowboys from putting too much stress on the same pass rushers every week.
You can never have enough guys who can heat up the pocket, especially in a conference where every playoff road seems to run through quarterbacks who can make you pay if they get comfortable.
More than 100 people gathered Friday night at a high school near the sealed‑off blast zone to honor the victims of the deadly explosion at The Clyde apartments in Oak Cliff.
The vigil – filled with hymns, prayers, and candles – brought together neighbors, local leaders, and pastors, many of whom were personally connected to those who died.
Just down the street, the debris field marks where three people were killed and five others injured when an explosion and fire tore through the complex earlier in the day.
Remembering Sylvia Collins
Among those honored was Sylvia Collins, a Democratic Party precinct chair known for her energy, advocacy, and signature raised‑fist rally pose.
State Rep. Cassandra Garcia‑Hernandez reflected on the loss, saying she couldn’t imagine taking another “fist‑up photo” with Collins.
State Sen. Royce West urged the community to remember Collins by continuing the work she championed.
Authorities have not yet released the names of the other two victims, believed to be a young woman and her toddler.
Search and Recovery Complete, Cause Still Unknown
Dallas Fire‑Rescue Chief Justin Ball confirmed that the search and recovery phase is complete, though he declined to comment on whether construction crews digging near the property may have struck a natural gas line before the blast.
Ball also defended the actions of firefighters who were on scene for up to 10 minutes before the explosion without ordering evacuations. He said crews first had to locate the source of the gas odor, secure a water supply, and gear up before they could begin clearing the building.
Lawsuit Filed Against Atmos Energy
One survivor has already filed a lawsuit against Atmos Energy, accusing the utility of failing to properly monitor for gas leaks. Attorney Sadi Antonmattei‑Goitia said incidents like this “don’t happen without bad decisions being made.”
Atmos did not respond to questions about the lawsuit but issued a statement saying the company’s “hearts go out to the people who were tragically lost, their families, and everyone who has been impacted.”
