BREAKING🚨 Two husbands who perform as Vikings at Universal's Epic Universe went to a friend's funeral in Arizona. Now ICE has them locked in separate detention centers, facing possible deportation. Agustin Baccega and Gustavo Romanello, a married couple of acrobats from Argentina, landed at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport on Saturday, November 7. They had come to say goodbye to a friend from the city's circus community who had died the day before. Two men in plain clothes walked up, asked Baccega his name and told him he was under arrest for being in the country illegally. Baccega told them he had asylum. Jonathan Batchelor, a longtime friend who was on the phone with the couple, said the agents waved that off. Romanello took a photo of his husband being handcuffed and sent it out. Then, Batchelor said, an agent turned to Romanello and asked, "This is another one, do you have another pair of cuffs?" The call went dead, as Alisa Reznick first reported in KJZZ. The two came to the U.S. in 2020 and applied for asylum. Neither has a criminal record. They perform in full Viking gear in Universal's "The Untrainable Dragon" show. Romanello is a recent Full Sail University animation graduate. Baccega also works for the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, the agency that runs Orlando's airport. ICE calls it a "targeted enforcement action" and says the men overstayed visas that expired in 2021. Its statement says a work permit does not protect anyone from arrest or removal. ICE did not answer questions about why it arrested two men with pending asylum claims. The same statement advertised up to $3,000 and a free flight for people who agree to self-deport. The husbands are now locked up apart, Baccega at Eloy Detention Center and Romanello at Florence, about 25 miles away. Alexa Neilen, their friend and castmate, said they are in "a cold, desolate room with hundreds of people just crowded in." Their attorney, Samuel Sketers, said that for people fighting their cases from detention, "your rights are almost entirely disregarded." The day after the arrests, Trump told 60 Minutes that his immigration policy "might be too tough." A GoFundMe for the couple's legal defense has raised nearly $38,000. Rep. Maxwell Frost's office says he plans to help the men and their families. If you appreciate my posts, it would mean the world if you followed my page. Thank you for being here.
