ICE abducts US citizen

[Anonymous]

ICE abducts US citizen for the "crime" of crossing state lines while being an "undocumented immigrant", despite (1) the law being suspended and (2) showing documentation that he is a natural born citizen.

Are Latinos happy with their Trump vote???

Your article leaves out the fact that HE told officers he was in the USA illegally. He was also arrested for driving drunk 2 days before. Pick a better poster child if you want to be taken seriously.

? He's an American by birth.

His mother and a community advocate presented his birth certificate and Social Security card during a hearing in Leon County, but the judge said that she had no authority to release him due to the court’s jurisdiction. ICE doesn't seem to follow laws. This from the party of law and order.

Lopez Gomez, 21, was born in Georgia. According to court records, he has been assigned a judge as well as a public defender. He appears to have been arrested and charged under an “anti-immigration” law passed in Florida two months ago, despite the fact that the law is currently under a temporary restraining order and isn’t supposed to be enforced.

Yes, I stated that Hispanics would need to carry around their birth certificates or US passports, but I guess that won't matter to ICE anymore.

He is a US born citizen who correctly needs to be detained for DUI but is incorrectly being detained by ICE as an illegal alien even after his US passport was provided, with the judge indicating she does not have authority to release him.

Unclear why he is not being released from ICE to regular old police/local jurisdiction who would handle his DUI, even after evidence of his citizenship has been provided.

Agreed, but if you read the original report HE told the cop he was here illegally. Seems like a dumb thing to do….

It seems that he was drunk, so that might explain the stupid comment

He doesn’t speak English well so it’s more likely there was a misunderstanding.

Also they’re not even supposed to be enforcing this Florida law since it was enjoined by a federal judge.

“At issue is a recently passed law that a federal judge has temporarily barred the state from enforcing, further calling into question the validity of his arrest, the charge, and detention. Gov. Ron DeSantis signed SB 4-C into law on Feb. 14, and U.S. District Court Judge Kathleen Williams blocked its enforcement on April 4.

As expected... anyone who looks Hispanic and doesn't speak American English without a foreign accent will be assumed to be an illegal immigrant, and by the time it's sorted out, they could be already deported.

If you tell a cop you are here illegally, it’s ok for them to assume you’re telling the truth.
