Brayan Sánchez, a Honduran citizen who worked as a truck driver and owned a pressure-washing and painting business, was detained by ICE on May 13 in Florida and transferred through detention centers in Colorado, Arizona, California, and Texas. On July 30, he and four Cuban detainees and one Ecuadorian detainee discovered they would be deported to the Central African Republic without being informed of the destination beforehand. Sánchez reported that ICE officials threatened the group, saying "Tomorrow you're going to get on the flight and if you don't get on the plane, we're going to beat you." He stated he was told the process was forced, not voluntary, and that he would have chosen El Salvador or Mexico instead. Sánchez asserts he had a court order preventing his deportation and believes the procedure violated his rights. He claims he cannot return to Honduras due to threats he received following the deaths of his father and other family members.
