Por equivocación entró al puente que conduce a Canadá

Original Story from Detroit Free Press

Un inmigrante venezolano de 32 años, Ricardo Prada Vásquez, se equivocó de camino al entregar un pedido de comida en enero en Detroit y terminó cruzando la frontera canadiense, fue detenido por las autoridades estadounidenses y deportado a El Salvador.

“Lo que estamos viendo es que un solo error de camino en el puente de Detroit (el Puente Ambassador) puede provocar la desaparición de un ser querido”, declaró Christine Sauve, coordinadora de comunicaciones del Centro de Derechos de los Inmigrantes de Michigan, a Free Press. “Y eso no debería suceder”. Ahora parece haber poca información oficial sobre Prada, lo que motivó una investigación del New York Times, que publicó por primera vez los detalles de su caso el martes bajo el titular “Un inmigrante detenido bajo custodia estadounidense que simplemente desapareció”. La difícil situación de Prada es el último giro en un enfrentamiento cada vez más intenso entre dos poderes del gobierno, el ejecutivo y el judicial: un juez federal ordenó la reversión de otras deportaciones debido a la falta de un debido proceso. La Casa Blanca no ha cumplido.

Herman Dhade, presidente del bufete de abogados de inmigración de Detroit en West Bloomfield, afirmó que ha tenido clientes detenidos temporalmente en el puente Ambassador porque tomaron la salida equivocada.

Pero lo inusual de este caso, añadió, es que un hombre fue deportado sin el debido proceso.

“Es muy alarmante”, declaró Dhade. Puedes ver lo peligroso que es, decir arbitrariamente que alguien esta afiliado a una pandilla y deportarla sin más. ¿Qué pasa si accidentalmente deportas a un ciudadano estadounidense? Es un callejón sin salida.

El caso de Detroit también sugiere, escribió el Times, “un nuevo nivel de desorden en el sistema de inmigración” y plantea la pregunta de si otras personas se enfrentan a situaciones similares, obligadas a irse sin muchos recursos.

La razón de este “vacío informativo”, según el Centro de Derechos de los Inmigrantes, es que los inmigrantes permanecen retenidos en centros de detención durante días, algo para lo que el sistema no fue diseñado, con un seguimiento y una supervisión limitados.

Es más, para los inmigrantes que solicitaron asilo a través de la aplicación móvil CBP One (Aduanas y Protección Fronteriza), que permitía ingresar a Estados Unidos, antes de revisar las solicitudes, parece ser una advertencia para evitar contratiempos. 

“La historia de Ricardo, en sí misma, es increíblemente trágica”, declaró al Times Ben Levey, abogado del Centro Nacional de Justicia para Inmigrantes con sede en Chicago, y añadió: “Desconocemos cuántos Ricardos hay”.

El Times informó que funcionarios del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) confirmaron a Levey una deportación, pero no su destino. Posteriormente, tras la publicación del informe del Times, el medio indicó que el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) afirmó que fue enviado a El Salvador.

“El hecho de que no se incluyera su deportación ni su ubicación en los registros de acceso público podría haber sido un simple descuido”, escribió el Times, y añadió que “el asunto sigue generando alarma entre los defensores de los inmigrantes y los juristas”. Según el Times: Prada, un repartidor que llevaba solo unos meses en Estados Unidos, recogió un pedido en McDonald’s y se dirigió a una dirección en Detroit, pero se equivocó de salida en el Puente Ambassador, una situación que a veces les sucede a los conductores.

A finales de marzo, por ejemplo, Free Press informó que una familia tomó la salida equivocada de la Interestatal 75, que conducía al puente, mientras se dirigían a Costco. Este error provocó que la familia fuera detenida por agentes de inmigración durante varios días antes de ser liberada.

Según el Times, Prada fue detenido y se ordenó su deportación. Prada contactó a un amigo que se encontraba en Chicago. Según informes, Prada dijo que estaba alojado en Texas y que esperaba ser repatriado a Venezuela, pero en cambio fue enviado a El Salvador.

Prada se encontraba entre las decenas de miles de venezolanos que migraron a Estados Unidos en los últimos años, mientras su país se sumía en la crisis bajo el gobierno de Nicolás Maduro. Al parecer, según informó el Times, Prada tenía permiso para entrar a Estados Unidos a través de la aplicación CBP One, que los republicanos han criticado como una puerta trasera al país. Prada fue a Chicago y luego a Detroit, donde esperaba una cita con inmigración.

Tiene “algunos años de universidad” y un hijo de 4 años, informó el Times.

Pero cuando salió del país por error, las autoridades ya no consideraron válido su estatus.

Prada, según el Times, fue detenido en el Centro Correccional del Condado de Calhoun, en el oeste de Michigan, en un centro de inmigración en Ohio y luego en otro centro en Texas.

Desde allí, según el Times, la administración Trump despegó tres aviones con migrantes venezolanos a El Salvador, “donde han permanecido desde entonces, encerrados en una prisión de máxima seguridad y privados de contacto con el mundo exterior”.

El Times, que buscó a Prada de forma independiente en los registros, informó que no pudo encontrarlo en una lista de 238 personas deportadas a El Salvador, ni pudo identificarlo en fotos y videos de hombres encadenados con la cabeza rapada.

El Times, citando a un amigo de Prada, afirmó que el inmigrante “simplemente desapareció”.
