A Livermore family is asking for help after their loved one was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at immigration court.
Miguel Ángel López Luvian, a father of three and grandfather who works at a vineyard in Livermore, was detained last Tuesday at a San Francisco courthouse. His family said he was there for a routine appointment – something he's been doing for many years. He was then transported to a private detention center in Kern County.
