Searching for my grandfather Miguel, separated at the US border in 2013

It has been 13 years since I last held my grandfather Miguel's hand. We were separated, and I have been searching ever since.
Violence in our hometown made staying impossible. Miguel had just turned 37 when it happened.
We were caught up in a traffic stop that turned into a detention in Los Angeles.
The thing that haunts me is remembering dancing in the kitchen to old records that belonged to our grandparents.
A friend saw them around 2018. After that, nothing.
Miguel would be around 50 years old now. They were broad-shouldered, strong hands, with a weathered face, with very distinctive laugh — you could hear it from rooms away.
The holidays are the hardest — their empty chair at the table speaks volumes. If anyone has any information about Miguel, please reach out. Our family will never be complete without them.
