Melendez Torres was first arrested by the U.S. Border Patrol on February 5, 1986 near Rio Grande, Texas. According to the Philadelphia ICE, he was ordered to express excellent reasons and hearing notices, and the charges were unacceptable. He was released on the same day in the order of recognition.
On November 17, 1986, he was granted a voluntary departure by an immigration judge in Haringen, Texas, and was asked to return to El Salvador by December 29, 1986.
He was deported after failing to leave by that date.
