Omar Bautista Carvajal, a Colombian immigrant with a valid work permit and no criminal record who had been deemed a low safety risk, was detained by ICE agents in the Chicago area on his way to English class on October 4, 2025, as part of 'Operation Midway Blitz.' His wife, Jasbleidys Hernandez, said his health deteriorated in custody and that ICE did not prioritize his medical needs or meals. An immigration judge ordered his removal, and he was deported to Colombia in July 2026. Unable to afford living in the U.S. without his income, Hernandez and their two younger children, including daughter Victoria, packed up their lives and self-deported to Colombia to reunite with him, while their 19-year-old son Juan chose to remain in Chicago alone. Bautista Carvajal was named in a federal class-action lawsuit arguing he should not have been detained, but a court overturned an order for his release before his removal.
