Dallas Community Leader Faces Deportation After Losing ICE Case
Omar Salazar, a Dallas community leader and SMU alumnus, is set to be deported after losing his immigration case. Salazar was detained by ICE for seven months following a traffic stop last year, which led to accusations of him remaining in the U.S. illegally. Although his attorney mentioned the possibility of appealing the decision, this would require Salazar to remain detained for an additional eight to twelve months. Instead, Salazar has opted for voluntary departure, which must occur within 60 days. Despite being married to a U.S. citizen, the process for reentry could take three to six years.
