A man held in an ICE detention center in Houston managed to escape the facility in March by using a yoga mat to help scale a wall, newly-unsealed federal court documents have revealed.
Ladislav Petro, 51, a Slovak national, escaped from the Houston Contract Detention Facility on Export Plaza Drive on March 15. When ICE was informed of Petro’s disappearance by employees of Core Civic, the contractor responsible for running the facility, a 24-hour, multi-agency manhunt was carried out, ending with the wanted man later recaptured nearby.
