ICE secretly deports green card holder

Chilean Luis León received asylum in the US; but recently he lost the physical green card that represented his right to live in the US. He visited the INS to get a replacement. The deportation thugs were waiting; they jailed him and deported him to Guatemala, failed to make any record of doing so, and told the family that León was dead.

I don't think such a chain of nonstandard events could happen by mistake. Some official must have decided to break rules in order to cause suffering. A variety of such incidents have happened this year, all different. The only explanation I can think of is that magats have encouraged the deportation thugs to use their imagination to invent new ways to make immigrants suffer.

Every official who participated in choosing this treatment of Mr. León ought to be fired, at least. Their mission is to do their work justly, not cruelly, and they neglected that completely.

I have a theory that might explain part of it. it is standard practice nowadays to arrange for an authorized immigrant to come to an appointment as w way to arrest per. When León made that appointment, officials could have seen some irregularity and chosen to respond in the most horrible way.

I wonder why Guatemala accepted a Chilean deported by the US, and why they didn't send him to Chile, now that that country respects human rights and is no longer the murderous dictatorship he fled in 1987.
