On Sunday, January 26, Marco Carmiño set out to pick up a piano before his scheduled performance at the 5 p.m. Spanish Mass at Nuestra Señora de Lourdes, a Catholic church in Mission, Texas. He never made it.
While his fellow parishioners carried on with the service, Carmiño, 52, sat just miles away, confused by an unusually long traffic stop—only to realize he was being deported.
