Honduran migrant gunned down shortly after US deportation 12 SHARES Share it! Nelson Espinal, 28, was shot 15 times on Tuesday night shortly after leaving his home in the capital Tegucigalpa, said his sister, Patricia Espinal. Espinal was deported from the United States in late November and barred from returning for five years, according to documents from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. He did not appear to be part of the migrant caravans trekking from Central America to the United States and did not seek asylum, the agency said. U.S. President Donald Trump has insisted that they will not be allowed into the United States, but a few asylum seekers have already crossed the border.
