Last month, a 20-year-old Guatemalan man who came to the United States when he was 2 years old was detained at a gas station by heavily armed men in black military-style uniforms, sent to Alligator Alcatraz, the notorious immigration detention center in the Florida Everglades, and eventually ended up on a deportation flight back to Guatemala, according to a sworn declaration filed this week in San Diego federal court.
