Larsen Releases Statement on Lelo Juarez Choosing to Self-Deport

Washington, D.C., July 15, 2025

Today, Representative Rick Larsen released the following statement:

“In arrests across the country, the Trump administration and ICE have claimed that they are going after “the worst of the worst.” But like so many others who have been detained, Lelo Juarez does not represent the worst of the worst. He is an activist, a union leader and a beloved family member. It is a tragedy he will not be able to return to his home and loved ones in Skagit County.”
