A Central-American family is mourning in Los Angeles after finding out that their young son was killed in his native Honduras. But in addition to the family grief, there is indignation in the community because according to advocates, his death could have been avoided. The young Honduran man had sought refuge in the United States, fleeing threats from gangs, but immigration authorities underestimated the predicament and deported him earlier this year. Immigrant advocates now point to this case as an example of the dramatic human cost of deporting children and young people from Central America. Radio Bilingüe’s reporter Rubén Tapia has this exclusive story. This story is part of our series, “Hablando de la Raza”.
