An 82-year-old Guatemalan asylum seeker, Luis Leon, was unexpectedly deported from Pennsylvania to Guatemala after visiting an immigration office to replace his lost green card. His family, initially told he was dead, discovered him hospitalized in Guatemala. Leon, a long-time resident with health issues, was detained by ICE and deported without explanation, prompting an ICE investigation. The deportation occurred despite a lack of official records and raises questions about recent Supreme Court rulings on deportation practices.
