Allentown grandfather’s family was told he died in ICE custody. Then they learned he’s alive — in a hospital in Guatemala, they say

NEW STORY: Allentown grandfather Luis Leon, who ended up in Guatemala after ICE arrest, is recovering from pneumonia, family says. He doesn’t plan to return to the U.S.

82-year old Luis Leon was tortured by the US-installed Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet's regime. He was granted asylum in the U.S. and has been living there since 1987.

Howrver, he lost his wallet with his Green Card. So naturally, he went to get a replacement...and he was detained. After almost 3 weeks with no news from Luis, a woman claiming to be an immigration lawyer told his family he was dead.

A week later, a relative found out Luis was alive...but had been deported to Guatemala.
