In Florida, for instance, Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez, a 20-year-old citizen, was detained by Florida Highway Patrol during a traffic stop near the Georgia-Florida line. Despite presenting his birth certificate and Social Security card, he was arrested under Florida Senate Bill 4-C— a law targeting unauthorized migrants in the state, which had been temporarily blocked by a federal court. Lopez-Gomez was held in Leon County Jail for 24 hours, even after a judge verified his citizenship and dismissed the charges against him.
Other victims include Jose Hermosillo, an Arizona citizen detained and released by Border Patrol for nine days; Julio Noriega, a Chicago-born man who was held in ICE detention for over 10 hours; Jensy Machado, a Virginia man detained while driving to work; Jonathan Guerrero, a Pennsylvania man arrested during an ICE raid at a Philadelphia car wash; and a military veteran from Puerto Rico who was arrested in New Jersey during a raid at a seafood business.

Who carries his birth certificate and social security card???
Call me incredulous
All that Soros funding and all they could come up with kids kept with their parents that had an opportunity to self deport, and people not actually deported, just detained like anyone else posting a bond or without charge
Lopez Gomez doesn't speak English or Spanish, his first language is Tzotzil
Soros or no, I'm curious how we understand the edges: parents are illegally in the country, children are not. What is the appropriate course of action?
Why TF would a US citizen self-deport?
Regardless of your surprise, if the government were to so treat you, what would you hope was available as recourse?
A person who knows white law enforcement judge on looks first and paperwork when they have to.
Es preocupante y triste que muchos de los que llevan años en estados unidos sean tratados así, recuerdo la guerra entre utus y tutsis o la guerra de bosnia, como todos vivían juntos y luego se mataban y cazaban a sus propios vecinos, ahora la misma situación en un país que dice su presidente que quiere Paz, pero que Paz si en su país la gente está matando a sus vecinos, cazandolos como si fueran fieras, es tanto el odio de este mundo que no hay perdón, prefiero creer en Dios mil veces que en el hombre que solo disfruta de matar, contrario a los animales que solo lo hacen por alimento. Y cuál es la libertad que dicen de dar. Esto me hace mal emocionalmente, oraré por mis hermanos, amigos y familiares que una ves vieron su sueño americano y hoy viven una pesadilla.😢🙏
