The families of several Venezuelan immigrants are demanding answers about their relatives\u2019 whereabouts after they were arrested and expelled from the United States to unknown locations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the immigrants has been identified as 32-year-old Ricardo Prada V\u00e1squez, a delivery driver who was apprehended in late January in Michigan after making a wrong turn and then transferred to an ICE jail in Texas. V\u00e1squez believed he\u2019d be repatriated to Venezuela, but his family and friends have not seen or heard from him since mid-March, when the Trump administration flew three planes carrying over 200 Venezuelans from the Texas detention center where V\u00e1squez was being held to El Salvador. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prada V\u00e1squez is not on the list of the 238 people confirmed to have been sent to El Salvador\u2019s mega-prison, and he does not appear in any images released by Salvadoran authorities. U.S. authorities confirmed he\u2019d been removed from the United States, but a friend told The New York Times: \u201cHe has simply disappeared.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, the family of 27-year-old Neiyerver Adrian Leon Rengel, who is also from Venezuela, says he was similarly disappeared into the U.S. immigration system. He was taken by ICE last month, and his family says they haven\u2019t heard from him since.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
