US EditionHe Showed up for a Routine Appointment in Philly. ICE Was Waiting for Him
Alejandro Juarez was deported without a hearing due to an ICE error; officials are arranging his return amid reports of untracked mistaken removals.
- Alejandro Juarez, 39, was detained in Lower Manhattan on September 15 and was deported last month to Mexico without an immigration hearing, prompting ICE to scramble to correct the error.
- ICE meant to send Juarez to an Arizona detention center but placed him on a Texas‑bound plane; his lawyer Anibal Romero attributed the error to overstretched agents and 3,000 daily arrest targets.
- Held for four days, Juarez was bused to Newark Liberty International Airport, put on a plane, then forced to cross the border with only a small bag and documents.
- DHS acknowledged the incorrect transport and said Juarez is in Puebla helping his father while his wife and four children remain in Westchester County, New York; his lawyer hopes for 'parole in place' because his son serves in the U.S. Marines.
- Advocates warn the Juarez case underscores due-process concerns amid the Trump administration's aggressive deportation policies, with similar mistakes like Kilmar Abrego Garcia's prompting calls for scrutiny.
