A supporter of President Donald Trump on January 18, 2017

A man recently deported to Africa by U.S. immigration officials was wrongly identified as a murderer, despite having no such conviction, the Daily Beast reported Monday.

59 year-old Roberto Mosquera, who is a self-described “super Trump supporter,” is being held in a maximum-security prison in Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) allegedly misclassified his criminal record.

Mosquera, who moved from Cuba to the United States nearly 50 years ago, was taken into custody by ICE agents in South Florida during his annual check-in in June.

At the time, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin wrote on the social platform X that Mosquera was “convicted of first-degree murder and aggravated battery.”

“I was hysterical ... It’s literally on their verified page that my dad is a murderer,” his daughter, 20-year-old Monica Mosquera, told the Beast.

According to public records cited in the report, Mosquera was never charged or convicted of homicide. When he was 18, he served nine years in prison for attempted murder after shooting a man in the leg during a gang fight.

“My dad did his time — he married my mom, who’s American, had American daughters, and changed his life around,” Monica said.

After her father’s detention, DHS officials told Monica he had been deported to Cuba.

She later learned through local news reports that he was actually sent to Eswatini, a country known for human rights abuses.

.“They lied to me,” she said. “They were saying he was a murderer ... then I found out he was sent to Africa.”
