Teen soccer star deported for heading to college

Lizandro Claros-Saravia was supposed to head to North Carolina to start college. Instead, the former high school star athlete was deported after informing ICE of his soccer scholarship to Louisburg College. The 19 year old settled in Nicaragua, a country he doesn't know, with just the game of soccer to help him feel at home.
