An LGBT asylum-seeker fled Honduras for the U.S., hoping to find safety from threats against his life. Instead, he's been in ICE custody for nearly seven months—and his lawyer says his life is still at risk.
Darwin Celinn Garcia Portillo and his partner, Oscar Juarez Hernandez, fled Honduras earlier this year for the United States, hoping that they could find safety from threats against their lives.
On Oct. 22, Garcia Portillo’s request to be released on parole was denied because he was deemed a flight risk. His lawyer says ICE’s decision to keep him detained has jeopardized Garcia Portillo’s life and health. Hernandez is currently living in Colorado with his sponsors, the Bobb family, who have also legally requested to become both Garcia Portillo and his younger brother’s sponsors.
Garcia Portillo passed his credible fear test, has no criminal record, proved his identity and has the Bobb family willing to sponsor him, which is a strong indication that he is not a flight risk, according to his lawyer.
