A 60-year-old Ohio man who was waiting for hip replacement surgery was deported to his native Mauritania on Tuesday without the operation, according to his attorney.
Lubans-Otto said Ndiaye had been approved for total hip replacement surgery and was preparing for an operation when he was arrested for overstaying his visa. Medical records submitted in a court proceeding show he was taking classes meant for patients anticipating joint replacement and that a doctor had written,"All your labs look good to proceed with surgery."01:05
An ICE spokesperson confirmed to NBC News that Ndiaye had been deported from Arizona on Tuesday. ICE did not respond to repeated requests for comment on Ndiaye's medical condition during detention, or whether he was medically cleared for deportation. According to the doctor, Ndiaye had not scheduled an operation but said he had arranged a payment plan for the anticipated surgery."He was going to pay for the surgery himself," she said,"which is indicative of how badly he needed it."
He was ordered removed from the U.S. in 2007, and his appeal of deportation was dismissed in 2009, according to court documents. He was eventually given an Order of Supervision and had regular check-ins with ICE before his arrest on Dec. 10, 2018.
