Ricardo Prada Vasquez, a Venezuelan migrant, was delivering food in January when a fateful turn landed him in Canada. When attempting to re-enter the U.S. he was detained by immigration authorities, who ordered his deportation. In March, he told a friend he would soon be sent back to his home country. But his whereabouts are unknown since then.
Concretely, on March 15 Prada told a friend in Chicago he was among a number of detainees housed in Texas who expected to be sent back to Venezuela. That evening, the Trump administration flew three planes carrying Venezuelan migrants from the Texas facility to El Salvador, where they have been ever since.
