Here’s a summary of the immigration situation involving Daury Baez Seri:
A 30-hour ordeal began when Baez Seri was detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection after a domestic flight from San Juan, Puerto Rico to Boston was diverted to Bermuda due to a medical emergency. Despite being a DACA recipient and having no criminal record, Baez Seri was not allowed to contact an attorney while held for over 24 hours at Boston’s Logan International Airport.
Upon landing in Bermuda, passengers were taken to a hotel and then back to the airport, where many faced customs issues. Since they did not have passports, they were uncertain about their immigration status. His attorney argued that Baez Seri was treated like he had self-deported despite following legal guidelines, as he never intended to travel internationally.
This incident follows a concerning trend of airport detainments in Boston, raising alarms about how non-citizens are treated during such situations. U.S. Customs and Border Protection has not yet commented on this case.
