A man who left Costa Rica for the United States was deported ten months later, unable to speak, move, or respond.
Randall Gamboa Esquivel departed his hometown of Pérez Zeledón in December 2024 and was detained for unlawful entry at the U.S.-Mexico border, first held at the Webb County Detention Center before being transferred to the Port Isabel Detention Center in Texas.
In September 2025, the 52-year-old was deported back to San José, Costa Rica, aboard an air ambulance in a vegetative state. Gamboa was pronounced dead five weeks later.
