Supporters of Humberto Cantero joined his wife and children for a vigil Tuesday night outside a detention center in Elizabeth.
Cantero was stopped for driving without a license in Monmouth County back in February and has been detained by ICE ever since.
His wife is hoping her family will not be torn apart.
Cantero moved to the United States 15 years ago.
He's lived and worked in Roselle the entire time.
