A 24-year-old Colombian woman, Nicolth Hernandez-Lucero, an independent professional wrestler and surgical technician, is currently detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Pompano Beach, Florida. She was taken into custody on February 11 following a traffic stop in Fort Lauderdale, according to her husband, Noah Lazega.
Lazega told NBC6 Miami that ICE agents stopped Hernandez-Lucero while she was driving near St. Ambrose Episcopal Church, stating they were “in the area running plates.” He said his wife inquired about the reason for the stop but did not receive a clear explanation from the agents. Hernandez-Lucero has remained in detention since the encounter.
Hernandez-Lucero moved to the United States from Colombia at the age of 15. In addition to her operate as a surgical technician, she performs as a professional wrestler. Lazega stated that the couple had been planning a wedding celebration later this month and that he, as a U.S. Citizen, had begun the process of assisting his wife with adjusting her immigration status.
According to Hernandez-Lucero’s attorney, Justin Gould, she entered the country legally and has been navigating the asylum process with her family. Gould noted that this process often takes years and that her parents are also residing in the U.S. Without any criminal record, according to NBC6 Miami. A search of Florida public records by NBC6 did not reveal any criminal history for Hernandez-Lucero.
Hernandez-Lucero and her sister, Tiffany, received wrestling training from former WWE performer Gangrel, who has since called for support for the family. Lazega has initiated a GoFundMe campaign to aid cover the mounting legal expenses associated with Hernandez-Lucero’s detention.
As of Sunday, February 22, 2026, Hernandez-Lucero remains in ICE custody, awaiting a bond hearing. ICE has not yet commented on the specifics of her case.
