This Syrian man thought he was attending a routine appt, then told he would be sent to Rwanda.
"When I went to sign they told me they want to give me papers. They took me aside and after that there was a police van. They took my phone and put me in a [cell]. I'm very scared."

One of the men is from Sudan, where a violent conflict is raging, driving millions to flee.
