An Arizona husband spoke out after trying to visit his wife at the Eloy Detention Center on May 29.
Jose Camacho, a Tempe resident, was sent into a panic after his wife, Vilma Villabos, vanished and he didn’t hear from her for weeks. Villabos, who was born in Mexico, has been in the US since she was 2 weeks old, her husband said. Camacho suspected that she might’ve been detained by immigration agents, but didn’t know for sure.
After three months, Villabos was finally able to send her husband a letter to inform him she’d been apprehended by ICE and was being held at an Eloy facility.
Camacho tried to visit his wife during her scheduled hearing at Eloy and managed to lay eyes on her for the first time in three months, but was denied the chance to speak to her after the hearing was rescheduled.
