A former employee of one of Donald Trump’s golf clubs was forced to walk back across the U.S.-Mexico border after being put on the wrong plane and mistakenly deported by ICE.

Alejandro Juarez, 39, pleaded with officials, and told them he had not been given the opportunity to contest his deportation in front of an immigration judge – a legal entitlement for such detainees – as he was forced back to his home country earlier this month.

Juarez, a father of two, had been in the U.S. since the early 2000s and worked as a server and food runner for more than a decade at the Trump National Golf Club in Westchester, New York, according to The New York Times. He was reportedly fired from the job during Trump’s first presidency, along with other undocumented immigrants employed at the president’s various clubs.

Juarez was arrested on September 15, after showing up to a check-in appointment at the ICE offices in Manhattan, despite having attended multiple similar appointments previously.
