Migrants Vanish Into Opaque ICE Detention System
When immigration lawyers sought to defend a North Texas construction worker detained in early March, they couldn't find him.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement records initially showed that Felix Morales Reyna, a 28-year-old Mexican father, was in Alvarado, Texas, 30 miles south of his home in Fort Worth, paralegal Andrea Avila said. But he was actually more than 200 miles north in Cushing, Okla. By the time her firm found Morales, he had been moved to Aurora, Colo.—but his case had inexplicably moved to Anson, Texas.
