The Immigration attorney, Santiago A. Alpízar, through his Facebook profile the case of a Cuban legal permanent resident in the United States since 2011, who has been arbitrarily deported to Mexico.
The incident occurred when the Cuban involved, identified as Arolfo Antonio Acosta Sosa, was detained at the immigration checkpoint located in La Rosita, Texas, while lawfully transporting goods to his residence in the state of Florida.
According to the complaint, despite having his immigration status in order, he was irregularly detained and expelled from the country without due process.
Administrative error or deliberate act?
Lawyer Alpízar questions whether this deportation was an administrative error or a deliberate action aimed at discrediting the administration of President Donald J. Trump, in a politically tense context regarding immigration policies.
The complaint directly calls on key figures such as Kristi Noem, the current Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), to stop what it describes as actions by ICE agents who would be acting in bad faith.
In his complaint regarding the case, Alpízar urged the State Department, represented by Marco Rubio, to intervene to ensure the immediate and safe return of Acosta Sosa to U.S. territory.
According to the publication, the affected individual intends to voluntarily present themselves at a U.S. consulate in Mexico.
Similarly, the lawyer demanded the FBI's intervention to thoroughly investigate what happened, as he believes that this kind of mistake "should not happen" and describes the situation as "absurd."
The post includes an open call to journalists, human rights defenders, and officials who wish to get involved in the case, even providing the phone number of Mr. Acosta Sosa: (786) 514-6622, for those who wish to contact him directly.
The publication did not provide any further details about the detainee's immigration history, nor the alleged reason why they had not been naturalized as a United States citizen.
In the comments section, in response to an internet user who questioned how something like this can happen, Alpízar suggested asking Kristi Noema and Marco Rubio, while urging the congressmen to work towards ensuring that the community of exiles in the U.S. receives "dignified treatment."
"Ask Secretary Kristi Noem why this is happening. Also, ask Marco Rubio how the U.S. Department of State will facilitate their quick and safe return to the U.S., and, even more importantly, when President Donald J. Trump will instruct the Department of Homeland Security to provide due process to those who reside and work legally in the U.S., including Cubans with inspected entries such as the I-220A, Humanitarian Permit, and CBP-1, in accordance with the Cuban Adjustment Act," he reproached.
"Cuban congress members should stop talking and start doing something meaningful to establish a dignified treatment for the exile community in the U.S.," he concluded.
As of the time of this note, there is no additional information regarding the case.
