A teenager was wrongfully taken off the streets in Tucson, Arizona and held for more than a week despite being an American citizen. Court documents say the teen admitted to illegally entering the U.S. and that he was arrested in Nogales, Arizona, according to Arizona Public Media. The teen said he has never been to Nogales. His family had to make many phone calls to discover the teens plight.
Jose Hermosillo, arrested while visiting Tucson from Albuquerque, told them he's a US citizen.
[Border Patrol said Hermosillo was] arrested "at or near Nogales ... without proper immigration documents" and that [he] admitted to illegally entering the U.S.
This is astonishingly dishonest.[image or embed]

I don't think you are understanding what's going on...
That you and the rabid Lumpers find any little mistake as the Government is the equivalent of the Nazis?
You're hyperventilation over the littlest of things is hilarious, it erodes legitimate questions about what Trump is doing.
Each side has a different version. But lets say your version is "correct". Why just him? Why not everyone with brown skin?
idk what the truth is in this case, but I would imagine the Border Patrol actually caught him near Nogales, and the kid is probably lying. But I am willing to refrain judgement that the government is rounding up brown people randomly and see how this plays out.
Given the hoaxes Snoofy and you had swallowed, perhaps sit this one out until the facts come in.
McLaughlin said Hermosillo approached border patrol agents in Tucson, stated that he had illegally entered the country through Nogales, and wanted to turn himself in and complete "a sworn statement identifying as a Mexican citizen who had entered unlawfully."
"He was processed and appeared in court on April 11. Afterward, he was held by the U.S. Marshals in Florence, AZ. A few days later, his family presented documents showing U.S. citizenship," McLaughlin said. "The charges were dismissed, and he was released to his family."
Another question, if the kid was visiting his GF parents with his GF (in Tucson), why weren't there any witnesses to the government "abduction"? Why did it take 10days for the family to get their ---- together and get him released? Something isn't right about the story, too many inconsistencies.
Actually they started before 10 days - it took 10 days for him to be released after his kidnapping.
"Mistakes" - flat out lies by a border agent.
How about this "mistake"?
"Based on her (Judge Riggans) inspection of his birth certificate and Social Security card, Riggans said she found no probable cause for the charge. However, the state prosecutor insisted the court lacked jurisdiction over Lopez-Gomez's release because U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had formally asked the jail to hold him.
"This court does not have any jurisdiction other than what I've already done," Riggans said."

"Michigan-based attorney Amir Makled was detained by federal immigration agents while returning home from a family vacation to the Dominican Republic."

See a pattern, yet? You should - you're supposedly from China.
Lyin Yav and Snoofy.
Sit his one out.
Here is a copy of the sworn statement signed by Jose Hermosillo. During questioning, which was done in Spanish, Hermosillo stated he:
-Was born in Mexico
-Was not a U.S. citizen
-Crossed the border illegally via the desert
-Wanted work
-Was in the U.S. illegally

At this time, I am going with Yav and Snoofy can't fall out of a boat and hit water.
