What should have been a minor infraction quickly escalated, landing Wade in the custody of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/tag\/us-immigration-and-customs-enforcement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)<\/a> and ultimately leading to his deportation \u2014 despite his honorable military service and long-standing ties to the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to CBS Atlanta over Zoom from Jamaica, Wade recounted the moment that changed everything: &#8220;On that particular Saturday morning, I didn&#8217;t have a license on me, so I knew just upon being stopped, it&#8217;s gonna be the officer&#8217;s discretion whether he releases me with just a fine or he&#8217;ll take me into jail.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Instead of a routine citation, Wade was taken into custody and soon discovered he would not be allowed to post bond. &#8220;When you try to bond out, typically you pay a small fee of like $150 and you bond out,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;But ICE has now put a hold on the individual. So now it&#8217;s up to the discretion of those ICE officers moving forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wade was moved from a temporary detainment facility in Lumpkin County to a holding facility in Monroe, Louisiana. There, he waited in what he describes as a &#8220;holding zone pending air flight,&#8221; as ICE filled seats on a monthly charter deportation flight to Jamaica. &#8220;Once they get a full manifest, you are kept in Louisiana and they have a scheduling where the Airbus to Jamaica was the first week of each month,&#8221; Wade said.<\/p>\n<p>Wade and his family say his case never appeared before an immigration judge because the original court order was sent to the wrong address \u2014 a bureaucratic error that left him with no chance to plead his case.<\/p>\n<p>Now back in Jamaica, Wade is speaking out not just for himself, but for the countless others facing deportation without due process. &#8220;It&#8217;s not about Godfrey Wade, it&#8217;s really about the next veteran, and the next person who really doesn&#8217;t have the opportunity to articulate that, hey, I need a fair hearing from the constitutional justice system of America.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wade hopes his experience will bring attention to the vulnerabilities faced by veterans and legal residents caught in the immigration system. &#8220;There are thousands of people behind me who may be going through a similar situation,&#8221; he said, calling for reforms to ensure due process and fair hearings for all.<\/p>\n<p>ICE has not responded to our request for comment on Wade&#8217;s deportation.<\/p>\n<section
