21 Years Later, Deported Back to a ‘Home’ He Barely Knew

Luis Ferré-Sadurní

As Trump’s deportation efforts get underway, I set out to answer two questions: What is it like to be deported from the United States? And what is it like for deported immigrants to reintegrate into their home countries?

Luis Ferré-Sadurní

I followed one of the first people deported: Nascimento Blair. He was abruptly detained in New York City and deported to Jamaica in February. It was his first time back on the island in two decades.

Luis Ferré-Sadurní

His journey opened a window into deportations right now. He was apprehended during a routine immigration check-in, shuttled among four detention centers and flown out of the United States in shackles — all in less than a month.

Luis Ferré-Sadurní

Blair was deported because of a 19-year-old criminal conviction. But his band of unlikely supporters — college professors, faith leaders, social workers — argued that he was rehabilitated and did not pose a danger to society.

Luis Ferré-Sadurní

His back story raised a more fundamental question that many Americans are grappling with: Who deserves to stay? For Blair, it was too late.
