Summary
SectionsTVFeaturedMore from NBC Follow NBC News A Guatemalan seeking asylum was mistakenly expelled by U.S. authorities, despite the lack of a deportation order and before he even had his first appointment in immigration court.César Marroquín, 29, was deported Aug. 19—the day he was supposed to have his first court appearance—along with dozens of deportees to Guatemala, the country from which he fled after being the victim of aggression and kidnapping, according to his account."They told me that if I didn't get on the plane, I'd be charged," Marroquín told Noticias Telemundo. Months later, he was transferred to River Correctional Center in Ferriday, where he waited for the day of his court.Aug. 19 was the date of Marroquín's first asylum hearing, which is usually the first meeting between asylum-seekers, attorneys and immigration judges.
