Spain's Miguel Barreno returns home after six months held by US immigration authorities

Tuesday, 5 May 2026, 06:33 · 1 min read

Spanish citizen Miguel Barreno has returned to Madrid after being detained for more than six months by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the federal agency responsible for enforcing immigration law. Barreno, who was apprehended in Chicago last October during the Trump administration's crackdown on undocumented migrants, arrived in Spain on a travel document issued to allow his return. He has spoken publicly about the ordeal, saying the experience felt as though "life slowly fades away," and is now denouncing the conditions he endured during his prolonged detention.
