Alirio Guillermo Belloso Fuenmayor

Alirio Guillermo Belloso Fuenmayor, a Venezuelan national, came to the U.S. in 2023 working at DoorDash, saving money for his family. In January, 2025 his immigration case was dismissed, he was apprehended by ICE and sent to the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, WA. In February he was told he would be deported. Assuming he would be sent back to Venezuela, he called his wife and daughter, preparing for their reunion. Instead, ICE put him on a flight to El Salvador and he is now held at the notorious max security prison, Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT), with no ability to speak to his family, let alone lawyers or advocates. Because the U.S. government has withheld information on who has been sent to CECOT, his wife only found out he was there by watching publicized videos of detained people de-boarding the plane in El Salvador and confirming with a leaked list of names.
