Nicolth Hernandez-Lucero, who was trained by former WWE star Gangrel and wrestles on The Florida independent scene, including for Coastal Championship Wrestling as Nicole Lucero, was stopped by ICE officials and taken into custody this past week.
Media reports out of Florida report ICE agents pulled Lucero over near St. Ambrose Episcopal Church in Fort Lauderdale on 2/11.
Lucero, 24, originally from Colombia, has been living in the United States since she was 15 years old. She had been in the process of changing her immigration status alongside her husband Noah Lazega. Lazega told NBC6 in Miami that his wife called him when she was being detained, allowing him record the interaction. The agents told her they were "running plates" in the area, but allegedly did not answer when asked what was their probable cause to stop her.
Hernandez-Lucero's attorney, Justin Gould, told NBC6 that Lucero entered the U.S. legally as a teenager and has been undergoing the asylum application process with her family.
“This is a person, once again, who entered legally, who filed a case legally as a dependent through her parents and has been in this country with no criminal record,” Gould told NBC. “So now it is basically everybody’s illegal unless otherwise noted, and it’s just not OK,” Gould continued. “This is not what the President promised.”
Lucero teams with her sister as The Lucero Twins and beyond professional wrestling, she works as a surgical technician at a Florida hospital.
Gangrel, among other talents from CCW and the Florida scene, have sent their best wishes publicly to the Lucero-Lazega family and have asked others to support them.
A GoFundMe campaign was launched assist the family with their legal bills at this link.
