Kleiver Daniel Díaz Lugo, 22, is young man from Punto Fijo, Venezuela who wanted a better future than the one he had in his home country. He first went to Colombia with his older brother until October 7, 2024 when he presented himself at the US border using the legal CPB-One app. He was, however, detained at the border and taken to a detention center in California.
"My son is a hard-working boy who was looking for a better future for his parents and his daughter. Now look at where he ended up as a criminal. There is no justice for the innocent," said Rosa Lugo, Kleiver's mother, whom she often calls "Mi Peludo (my furry guy)," because of the size and volume of his hair.Kleiver Díaz was given a hearing every month and almost six months later, in March 2025, he was told he would be deported but he wasn’t told where he would be going.
"My Furry guy calls me and tells me mom I love you very much”, they gave him five minutes. “They're already taking me, mom, I don't know where. Mom pray a lot for me.” “And from there we didn't hear from him until we saw the list," said the heartbroken mother in tears.María Carolina Gómez, cousin of the detainee, commented that he is a humble, quiet young man and that he has never had problems with the justice system, not even here in Venezuela.
"They left him detained only for his tattoos that have no meaning or anything to do with the Tren de Aragua. Kleiver works as an auto mechanic and only left for a better future for his parents and for his five-year-old daughter who has a special condition," said Gómez.The family's hands are tied because they are very low-income and do not have the mechanisms to help him and soon be back in his country.
Rosa Lugo and María Gómez demand that justice prevail and that Kleiver regain the freedom he should never have lost.Please share to help Kleiver's family spread the word that he needs a fair trial and release if he is found innocent. (credit: Pedro Colina Depool – CNP)
