NEW: It appears another hoax has been attempted. Family members of an 82-year-old Chilean man in PA went to the media claiming ICE arrested him while renewing a green card in Philly, that he died in ICE custody, then that he was secretly deported to Guatemala. The story went viral online. It appears to have been all made up by the family, which has since gone dark and stopped responding to the press. Here's what happened since the story first ran in The Morning Call, an Allentown, PA newspaper. - Records in Chile show a man with his same name and date of birth died in Chile in 2019. - Guatemala says they have no record of him being deported to their country. - DHS says there is no record of him appearing at any green card appointment in the Philly area, and they say ICE never arrested him. - DHS says they never deported him, and their only record of him entering the US is in 2015 from Chile via the visa waiver program, not an asylum grant from the 1980s as the family claimed. - His granddaughter claimed he was sick in a Guatemalan hospital with pneumonia after ICE deported him, and that he was traumatized (after first claiming he was dead). A doctor at the hospital she claimed he was at says there is no record of him being there. Link to updated story via the Morning Call, which DHX is calling "another hoax designed to demonize ICE":
