CBN News has received confirmation that Christian evangelist and refugee Torben Søndergaard was deported from the United States in the last 24 hours.
He was reportedly escorted by two U.S. Immigration officers back to Denmark, as per standard protocol. The officers treated him with dignity and respect.
Upon arriving in Denmark, he was subject to normal passport control and was allowed to immediately turn around and fly to another country. He is now free and is safely reunited with his family outside of Denmark.
Søndergaard’s legal team says, “Now comes a time of much-needed rest and healing, and gratefulness to God that his painful experience of being detained is now over. Torben has requested privacy and will not be online or responding to calls and emails for the time being. Please continue to pray for Torben’s pending Asylum petition in the US federal court. If it is granted, he will be able to return to the US immediately with his family.”
