EDITOR’S NOTE: Muñoz moved to the U.S. at fourt

EDITOR’S NOTE: Muñoz moved to the U.S. at fourteen years old.   Jersey City business owner Oscar Muñoz has been detained for almost a year now in Pennsylvania.

Muñoz, who has been in the U.S. for 25 years and has two children born here, described to Slice of Culture about the challenges and conditions he’s been facing at Moshannon Valley Processing Center, a privately held ICE facility. This comes at a time as the Trump administration touts the roll back on previous immigration policies.

He is expected to face sentencing on April 25. In a letter to the judge, Muñoz’s 18-year-old daughter wrote her considerations for her father’s case.
