Mártír García-Banegas, a 50-year-old father, and his 9-year-old son, Mártír García Lara, have been deported to Honduras following an immigration hearing. The father had initially arrived in the U.S. in July 2021 and was undocumented. After a judge ordered their deportation in September 2022 and an unsuccessful appeal, they were detained during a court hearing in Los Angeles on May 29, 2023. The father's concerns about deportation were evident, and the community has since rallied for support, showing compassion for the affected family amidst their uprooting.
I have a feeling they're going to deport me. I can't leave my son. I'm going to take him with me. I got up early that morning, took a shower and everything to get ready.
They are being cruel to people. Right now, people are behaving. If you look, you see things that are not [humane] things.
