An 82-year-old man in Pennsylvania was secretly deported to Guatemala after visiting an immigration office last month to replace his lost green card, according to his family, who have not heard from him since and were initially told he was dead.
So he and wife booked an appointment to get it replaced.
When he arrived at the office on 20 June, however, he was handcuffed by two Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) officers, who led him away from his wife without explanation, she said.
She herself was kept in the building for 10 hours until relatives picked her up.
According to Morning Call, the relative said Leon had first been sent to an immigration detention center in Minnesota before being deported to Guatemala – despite not appearing on any Ice detention deportation lists.
A recent supreme court decision ruled the Trump administration could deport immigrants to other countries beside their country of origin.
An Ice official told the Morning Call it was investigating the matter. »
