Node array filtering not working

I am trying to filter an array as I have a million times in the past but it's not working. 

locations = city.locations.filter(
   (l) => {
     console.log(l._id);
     console.log(req.query.locationId);
     console.log(l._id === req.query.location);
     return l._id === req.query.location;
   }
)

Console output: 

l1dr2jmg42lb2sgiudi
l1dr2jmg42lb2sgiudi
false

The first two console.log print identical strings but the third prints false??!?

I checked that city.locations is an Array and both l._id and req.query.locationId are a string.

console.log(l._id === req.query.location);

you are not referring to req.query.locationId but toreq.query.location. Missing Id.
