Anti-ICE Hunger Strike Leader's Sob Story Unravels As Details Of Domestic Violence Arrest Surface

The illegal immigrant who claimed to have been nabbed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement while buying diapers — and whose sob story fueled an anti-ICE hunger strike in a detention center — was actually taken into ICE custody after being arrested for a violent domestic assault, The Daily Wire has learned.

Gabriela Soto claimed that her husband, Martin Soto, 31, of Peru, "was abducted" by ICE and that he was "a loving father, husband, son, church member, worker" when he was taken to Delaney Hall, an ICE detention facility. Media outlets ran with the story as the hunger strike carried on, leading to weeks of violent riots outside the facility.
