"The way they deported him wasn't right. He is a calm, working man. We are asking for justice because they violated his rights."
"Federal authorities dropped him off at an international bridge and told him to cross back to Mexico. He thought he signed a consent for a coronavirus test."
Juan Fernando, a 23-year-old undocumented immigrant from Mexico's Indigenous Zapotec community, was detained by ICE and quickly deported from the U.S. in a matter of days. His family, lacking legal support, has raised concerns about the legality and speed of his deportation process. Advocates and lawyers criticized the rapid removal of immigrants during workplace raids, and protests erupted in Los Angeles and nationally. This case highlights broader issues regarding immigrant rights and the treatment of those caught in swift deportations without due process.
