US Deported Ricardo Prada Vásquez But He’s Nowhere To Be Found | Immigration Crisis | CLRCUT

In a gut-wrenching saga of bureaucracy gone rogue, 32-year-old Ricardo Prada Vásquez vanished into America's immigration system — and no one can say exactly where he has landed. Vásquez came to the United States legally, hoping for a better life. He followed all the rules, used the US government’s Customs and Border Protection One app, and was granted temporary entry while his asylum case was pending. He found work as a delivery agent for McDonald’s and settled in Detroit, and like many, was just trying to make ends meet. But one wrong turn — a mistaken drive onto the Ambassador Bridge toward Canada — changed everything. When he tried to re-enter the US, Ricardo was detained and swiftly thrown into a detention facility. vLess than two months later, he was gone — deported under the claim that he was tied to a notorious Venezuelan gang. But there was no evidence. No criminal record. No prior accusations. And most chilling of all: no paper trail. Ricardo’s name didn’t appear on any deportation flight lists. He vanished from the ICE database. Calls to detention centers, jails, and federal agencies went unanswered. It wasn’t until a New York Times investigation that officials admitted he’d been deported — supposedly to El Salvador — and branded him a “public safety threat.” But his family and advocates say this is a case of mistaken identity or something even darker: a system losing track of human lives. What is even scarier is that his name does not appear anywhere on the CECOT prisoners list.
