[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's an even worse "American citizen getting jailed by ICE story" - maybe we need a separate thread for these as they're becoming more common.

A 19-year-old American citizen, Jose Hermosillo, who was lost in Tucson, and walking near Border Patrol HQ, was arrested for illegally entering the country because he had no identification on him.

They claimed they arrested him in Nogales, near the border, but he says he's never been to Nogales. He spent 10 days locked up before he could get before a judge and convince him he was an American citizen.

[quote]His girlfriend’s aunt Grace Layva says she and her family made numerous calls looking for him before they found out he was being detained in the Florence Correctional Center, which Immigration and Customs Enforcement uses to detain people.

Another family member drove to the detention center, about 70 miles northwest of Tucson, but said officials wouldn’t provide any information or release him.

ICE did not respond to a request for comment about the wrongful detention.

The family later provided officials with his birth certificate and social security card.

“He did say he was a U.S. citizen, but they didn't believe him,” Layva said. “I think they would have kept him. I think they would have if they would have not got that information yesterday in the court and gave that to ICE and the Border Patrol. He probably would have been deported already to Mexico.”

A magistrate judge in Tucson dismissed his case on Thursday, and family says he was released much later that night.[/quote]

Start carrying your papers with you everywhere I guess. ICE  claimed that this American citizen said he entered the country illegally. Sure, Jan.

Arrested for no crime except not having identification. Which is not a crime in America.

But give it a couple minutes. Someone will be here to defend this[/quote]

This is nuts.
