Padres Coach Detained in Immigration Scandal | Amarillo News

Oswaldo Pirela, a longtime minor league coach for the San Diego Padres and father of two U.S. citizen kids, is in ICE custody after being detained in El Paso — despite having lived legally in the U.S. for over a decade and applying for asylum in 2015. DHS claims he overstayed his visa after his initial legal stay expired in 2018, even though he held work permits and pending applications. The Padres are investigating, but Pirela’s family says he’s always followed the rules — now facing deportation in a heartbreaking situation for his American-born children.
