TRENTON, N.J. (PIX11) -- A local official is calling for the release of a Trenton resident detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers Thursday morning.

According to Congressman Bonnie Watson Coleman, the detainee, Julio Lopez Najera, is a Trenton resident with a pending green card application. He is currently being held at Delaney Hall.

“Julio is an upstanding member of this community. He has been working, supporting his family with a pending application with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services seeking legal status. He has no criminal record. He is respected in his community. Most importantly, as a resident of the United States and the State of New Jersey, he has a right to due process. He should be released immediately,” said Watson Coleman.
