The Azorean Hugo Sousa returned to Portugal after being detained by ICE, the United States immigration service. For six weeks, he remained detained in Washington.
In an interview with RTP, Hugo Sousa described the conditions experienced during detention as inhuman, denouncing the treatment received from American immigration authorities.
This Portuguese citizen's case raises questions about the functioning of the United States immigration services and the conditions in which detainees are held during deportation or documentation verification processes.
Hugo Sousa is one of several cases of Portuguese citizens affected by the migratory policies implemented by the American administration, which have led to the detention and deportation of immigrants in irregular situations.
