Omar David Panqueva Rojas had just stepped out of a rideshare outside Chicago's Midway International Airport on the morning of Aug. 2, suitcase in hand, aiming for a connecting flight bound for the nation's capital.

They never got past the curb. Federal immigration agents closed in before the couple reached the terminal, separated them, and took both men into custody.
