A restaurant worker in Pacific Grove who was detained by immigration officials in June has been deported to his home country, according to the organizer of a fundraiser for his family. Juan Contreras, 43, a former manager and server at Wild Fish, has lived in the United States under an asylum claim for about 25 years. But on June 4, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials arrested him after he went to the agency for a “routine check-in,” the owners of the eatery, Kelvin and Liz Jacobs, said.
