Bronx food bank founder Aleksander Nilaj detained by ICE

Original: "For two decades, Aleksander Nilaj has served the Bronx, making sure no one [...] goes hungry." "8,000 people a month."

Aleksander Nilaj, an Albanian immigrant who spent two decades feeding people in the Bronx and now provides food to around 8,000 people a month, has been detained by ICE and is being held at Delaney Hall in New Jersey. Critics are highlighting the contrast between his community service and his detention, and the story is drawing attention to ICE arrests of long-standing community figures.

Why now: People are reacting to the contrast between his 20 years of charity work feeding thousands and his detention by immigration authorities.
