US homeland security reverses support for Ice detainee’s sexual assault claims

Department of Homeland Security's decision reversal makes Guatemalan native Andres Domingo no longer eligible for a visa

One day after this story was published by the Guardian, Andres Domingo's lawyer, Kenia Garcia, received a notification from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) rescinding the substantiated conclusion from its investigation into the Guatemalan native's multiple sexual assault allegations at Krome detention center.

Reviewed by the Guardian, the report's reversal means Domingo can no longer qualify for a U-visa. The U nonimmigrant status allows victims of sex crimes or any crime that leads to mental and psychological suffering or abuse to remain in the US.
