Jose Manuel Rodriguez-Quinones, a Cuban man with prior convictions in Florida, was arrested by ICE in April 2025 and placed on a deportation flight to South Sudan. A federal judge ruled the flight violated a court order requiring migrants be given a meaningful opportunity to object to removal; court filings did not indicate whether he had previously appeared before an immigration judge.
