Zimbabwean man deported to Cameroon after crossing US-Mexico border
Sep 10, 2026
Country of origin: Zimbabwe

Anthony, a Zimbabwean man in his forties, was detained by ICE last year after crossing the US-Mexico border following a long and dangerous journey through Central America. He was subsequently deported to Cameroon, a country with which he has no ties, and now spends much of his time reading the Bible for comfort while facing uncertainty about his future.
