US Senator Negotiates Return of Wrongfully Deported Venezuelan Man
A Venezuelan man was mistakenly deported to El Salvador on March 15, 2025. The error came to light after his deportation to the maximum-security prison CECOT. A court document from 2019, discovered recently, orders his return to the United States. U.S. Senator Marco Rubio is personally involved in negotiations with El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele to facilitate Lozano's return. A Department of Homeland Security official confirmed Rubio's involvement, emphasizing his extensive diplomatic experience with El Salvador. An immigration lawyer, Luis Victoria, commented on the unusual nature of a deported person's return, stating that it is "very difficult to argue this aspect," but that there might be a possibility to reopen the case. The video underscores the complexities of the immigration system and the ongoing efforts to rectify errors in deportation procedures. The successful return of Lozano would symbolize a positive resolution in a challenging situation.
