WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A man seeking asylum in the United States has reunited with his family in Wichita after spending 2½ years in an Arizona detention facility.
The Wichita Eagle reports that Hector Yaujar arrived in Wichita on Wednesday. Yaujar was living in Wichita with his wife, Claudia Amaro, when he was deported in 2005 for allegedly using a fake Social Security number.
Amaro followed her husband to Mexico with their son, but she eventually returned to the U.S., where she was briefly detained in Eloy, Arizona in 2013. When Yaujar tried to re-enter the country two months later, he was detained at that facility for more than two years.
He was released on $8,000 bond.
The couple requested asylum in the U.S. in 2013. Their case goes to court in 2019.
