Ricardo Prada Vásquez, a 32-year-old Venezuelan immigrant legally residing in the United States, has apparently been disappeared to El Salvador’s notorious Center for the Confinement of Terrorism (CECOT) after mistakenly turning onto the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit, Michigan.
The bridge, one of North America’s busiest international crossings, links Detroit with Windsor, Ontario. Due to the complexity of nearby highways, even local residents occasionally take the wrong ramp. For Prada, this innocent mistake led to arrest, imprisonment, and deportation—culminating in his disappearance into a foreign prison.
Disappeared (desaparecido) is a historical term that likens the trump administration to latin american military dictatorships
Thanks, didn’t know that!
I could be extra sensitive to perceived soft language these days, so I appreciate the context.
Don’t even let his family name live on. That’s that be wants
Just treat him like a number and call him 45
