In March 2025, Ricardo Prada Vásquez, a Venezuelan immigrant based in Detroit, found himself caught in a bureaucratic error that turned his life upside down. While attempting to make a delivery, he accidentally crossed into Canada via the Ambassador Bridge and was subsequently detained upon his re-entry into the U.S. Following this, he was ordered for deportation. On March 15, friends received messages indicating he was among several detainees destined for repatriation to Venezuela. However, a shocking twist occurred when it was revealed that Mr. Prada was neither included in the official records of deportees nor seen in any media releases. With his whereabouts shrouded in mystery, friends and family are left wondering about his fate, with one friend stating, “He has simply disappeared.” This case brings into sharp focus concerns about the immigration system and the potential risks faced by many undocumented immigrants in the United States.
