José Eliezer Martínez-Andino, a Honduran man with Special Immigrant Juvenile Status and a work permit who crossed into the U.S. alone at 14 in 2020 and later settled in Raleigh, North Carolina, working as a mechanic, was stopped by Border Patrol agents on March 18, 2026, in Montana while traveling toward Seattle over an alleged forged license plate. He signed a voluntary departure form he says he tried to retract while being shuttled between detention facilities in Montana and Arizona; his attorney, Alison Chan, filed notice of representation on March 31 but could not get ICE or CBP to disclose his location before he was deported on April 10 to his birth city of Tela, Honduras, separating him from his 3-year-old U.S.-citizen daughter and family in Raleigh. A federal judge later ordered the government to bring him back, but when he returned in August he was sent to an ICE detention facility in Texas rather than home, and DHS has filed a new removal case against him.
