Carlos traveled alone from Honduras at age 12 after his parents were threatened by gang members. He was processed in McAllen and placed with a distant relative in Houston. The relative later reported that Carlos had left the home and could not be located. His parents in Honduras have received no word since May 2021.
Personality & Who They Are
Carlos was known as a natural leader — confident, funny, and fiercely loyal to his friends. He loved soccer more than anything and could name every player on the Honduran national team. He was also a talented cook who helped his mother in the kitchen.
