Daisel Morales, a Cuban citizen, was detained in the United States while working as an Uber driver, according to descriptions of the case. One identifies the agents as members of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE. Both accounts connect the detention with his driving work, although they do not provide the same level of detail about the intervention.

One account adds that Morales was stopped on a public road and that agents made him leave the car before searching the driver and the vehicle. That version gives more detail about how the intervention allegedly unfolded but does not establish the city where it occurred. It also contains no official explanation of the procedure or information about steps taken after the detention.

Regarding his immigration situation, relatives said he had entered the country legally through humanitarian parole. They also said a permanent-residence application under the Cuban Adjustment Act was pending. That information comes from the family account and, in the available data, is not accompanied by details about the stage of the process or a decision on the application.

The accounts do not say when the arrest occurred or identify the precise location; one places it only generally in the United States. The legal grounds for the detention are also unknown in the information gathered about the case. What can be described is therefore limited to Morales's identity, his driving work and the immigration information provided by his relatives, without clarifying the basis for the action.
