His mom, Ada Bell Baquedano Amador, said Colindres’ relatives in Honduras live around four hours away from San Pedro Sula, where deportees are flown from the United States. Colindres left Honduras when he was just 8 years old and previously told The Enquirer he barely remembers living in the country.

His mother moved to the United States with her two small children in 2014 to flee persecution from gangs, she said. She applied for asylum, but was denied. …

Colindres was detained by ICE officials on June 4, and his mother and sister were given less than 30 days to leave the country.

    Yeah. I mean, “star” is subjective. But, to me, “star” means at a bare minimum someone who plays professionally or has the potential to play professionally. Really it should be the best player on their pro team, playing in a good league too.
