W., a 40-year-old Honduran man, was intercepted by police officers in New Orleans in July while picking up his wife from work. He was held at the Jackson Parish Correctional Center in Louisiana before being transported to Alexandria airport and deported to Liberia on a charter flight, marking the second time he was deported under the Trump administration after an earlier deportation to Honduras. He said staff from the International Organization for Migration are assisting him with his diabetes at the hotel in Liberia where he is being housed, and he does not feel safe leaving the premises.
