Frengel Reyes Moto

Frengel was legally living and working in the United States.

When he was taken into custody, the arrest paperwork uses the wrong name (Carlos Ortiz-Morales) 6 times.

The arrest paperwork also mixes his correct pronouns (he and him) with the wrong pronouns (she and her).

At his asylum hearing, when Frengel’s lawyer asked the ICE lawyer about the wrong name and pronouns, the ICE lawyer said they were “looking into it.”

Frengel was unable to be at that hearing because he was in custody. He had been arrested when he showed up for his regular ICE check-in

Frengel has no criminal records and no tattoos

He is 24 years old and employed house painter. He is married and the father to a 9 year old son
