   Twin Cities tow truck driver returns abandoned vehicles to families after   
   ICE arrests   
      
   Juan Leon had only been running his tow truck business, Leo's Towing, for   
   a few months when he noticed a pattern that kept repeating itself. Cars   
   were being left behind across the Twin Cities metro area – parked on   
   streets, in parking lots, sometimes for days at a time. The owners were   
   gone, and in many cases, they had been arrested by the U.S. Immigration   
   and Customs Enforcement.   
      
   Seeing there was a need for someone to help out, help clear the streets   
   and get the people back their vehicles. So we stepped up and started   
   doing it," Leon said. By late December, Leon and his small towing crew   
   decided to do something about it – all thanks to observers calling in and   
   reporting these vehicles.   
      
   "Families reach out to us. If the family isn't reaching out, we'll find a   
   way to get inside the vehicle and we'll bring it back to their house and   
   put it in a safe spot," Leon said.   
      
   They began picking up vehicles and returning them to the families of   
   those arrested – free of charge. Donations began pouring in all across   
   the country, supporting Leon's cause, but not without a cost to their   
   personal safety.   
      
   "When they doxxed me, they put all my information out there," Leon said.   
   "For the last three weeks, we have been getting nothing but death   
   threats."
