Ariel Fights to Bring Husband Home | Philadelphia News

Ariel Whaley is rallying the community to free her husband, Nelson Contreras-Gelves, an asylum seeker from Venezuela detained by ICE for nearly two months after a routine immigration hearing—just weeks after their wedding. Despite being released into the U.S. in March 2022 and having work authorization, Nelson remains locked up with no clear reason given. His absence devastates his job at Mighty Writers, where colleagues call him irreplaceable. With a crowdfunding campaign raising over $38K and a “Bring Nelson Home” rally planned, Ariel refuses to give up until he’s back in their arms.
