Christopher Martinez, a 31-year-old Mexican citizen, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after a traffic stop with Helena police Tuesday.
He entered the United States from Mexico in 2008 with his parents, when he was around 14 years old, according to legal documents filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana.
The fundraiser was launched Tuesday on behalf of Maria Pacheco, who is Martinez’s wife,
