Migrant accidentally self-deports after missing freeway exit near Mexico border 20 years after arriving in U.S

Erick Hernandez, 34, from East Los Angeles, migrated from El Salvador at age 14, making him eligible for DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals)

DACA allows undocumented migrants who arrived before age 16 to live and work in the U.S. without fear of deportation

Hernandez’s parents have legal status, and he was working toward legal residency after marrying his U.S. citizen wife

Under DACA, international travel requires advance parole—official permission to leave and re-enter the U.S

Because Hernandez left the country without advance parole, his DACA protection was revoked upon re-entry

He is now being held at Otay Mesa Detention Center and is in expedited removal proceedings back to El Salvador

You would think he would have been more than aware of that and made damn sure to avoid Mexico.

Something is fishy about this story.

The parents don't understand how it happened because.....they haven't bothered to learn English.

How many of you have crossed the border in a vehicle, lately?

Its not "an exit off the freeway".......it is the friggin freeway, with dozens of signs leading up to it.

If by some miracle he passed all these signs, gates, lines of cars and ended up at the border......he could have easily explained the situation and been turned around.

The arrogant prick thought he could come and go as he pleased, probably done it a 100 times before, and got caught with a new sheriff in town.

Exactly what I thought. Probably trafficking drugs or something.

A ride share driver taking passengers to the border, uh-huh. Nothing fishy there! And as another poster mentioned….mother can’t speak English after 20 years here? I know, we have no official language, but what language did our founding fathers speak? English.
