Luis Lamas gazes out the window of the home in Woodburn where he rents a room, May 14, 2025. Lamas is a Mexican citizen who came into the United States in 2021 and overstayed his temporary tourist visa, and is now returning to Mexico voluntarily.

Luis Lamas salió de Oregon por miedo.

“No quiero averiguar si me van a meter a un centro de detención o si voy a vivir tantos años más y que me digan sabes que, siempre no, te tienes que ir a tu país.” dijo.

Lamas se encuentra entre el creciente número de personas que están abandonando los Estados Unidos por temor a ser arrestadas o detenidas, ya que el gobierno de Trump ha prometido arrestar o deportar a cualquier persona sin estatus legal. Inmigrantes con estatus legal también han sido detenidos.

Este semana en The Evergreen, el reportero de OPB Alejandro Figueroa narra el viaje de Luis Lamas, un inmigrante mexicano que solía vivir en Woodburn.
