A Venezuelan man reportedly
took a wrong turn onto the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit, crossing into Canada, and was then allegedly detained and deported to
El Salvador when he tried to return to U.S. soil.
Ricardo Prada Vásquez, a 32-year-old Venezuelan
immigrant legally residing in the U.S., was working as a delivery driver in January in Detroit and had picked up an order at McDonald’s when he made the wrong turn, according to the New York Times, which first published the report.
Prada was detained while attempting to re-enter the U.S. at the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel and was taken into custody and put in detention before he was deported.
The publication reports that Prada told a friend in Chicago that he was among a number of detainees housed in Texas on March 15.
“He has simply disappeared,” his friend Javier told the Times.
