The family of a green card holder “was told he died in ICE custody. Then they learned he’s alive — in a hospital in Guatemala, they say.”

When this is all over—and I have to believe it will be over one day—there need to be trials.

“The last time anyone in the family saw Leon was June 20, when he went with his wife to a Philadelphia immigration office to have his lost green card replaced.

There, the family says, he was handcuffed by two officers, who led him away without explanation. His wife, who speaks little English, was left behind and kept in the building for 10 hours until she was released to her granddaughter, the family says.”

“Repeated inquiries to immigration officials, prisons, hospitals and even a morgue yielded no information. Leon’s name was not in ICE’s online database of detainees.

Finally, on Friday, a relative from Leon’s native Chile was told he had been taken first to a detention center in Minnesota and then to Guatemala.” https://www.mcall.com/2025/07/18/luis-leon-allentown-grandfather-ice-guatemala/
