how long before he corrected his mother lie, or are you suggesting at no point did the police do their job and follow up on the information he provided.
Having the power to detain someone requires caution and careful application. Some people are not up to the responsibilityâŚ
When youâre in the system as being born in Mexico and on a tourist VISA, your brother was born in Mexico and agree to be deported, yeah it might. It also might not. But letâs just stop acting like this was a cut and dry case. There were shades of gray going on here. There was justifiable suspicion that documents he had on him were fake, because well, letâs face it there is a tremendous industry in fake IDâs/docs for illegal immigrants.
Now maybe they could have go their â â â â together faster thatâs for sure, but everyone is acting as if they could have this solved in an afternoon. Real world does not work that way.
So now we just take the word of someone who says My Mom lied, you can let me go, honest?
There system says something different. Believe it or not itâs going to take some major paperwork to clear that screw up to the point he never has to worry about it following him around.

Yeah, everyone out there is honest. Weâll just not worry about detention for anyone in any case ever.

Jails are filled with wrongfully detained and convicted inmates that have been there for much more than 3 weeks.
Our national judicial system is the best in the world.
It is NOT omnipotent.
Americans want immigration law applied and upheld to the best standards we can.
We need legislative revision to help.

Well, they jails arenât filled with them. The vast majority of those people are guilty. No doubt there are a few.
So whatâs the end game then?
He was arrested based on something that he had no control over. What was he supposed to do? Just sit there for an indefinite amount of time waiting for somebody to do something?
It just seems like this guy was completely in utterly screwed.

Yes. Filled is a poor term. Nationally there are undoubtedly a few thousand.
Most are right where they need to be.

Hmm, whatâs this? Follow their link to the dallas news story.
âYou were, on or about June15, 2019, admitted to the Unitied States at Hidalgo, Texas point of entry as a nonimmigrant B1/B2 visitor, for a temporary period not to exceeed 30 days to visit in the area within 25 miles of the United States border with Mexicoâ
If he believed himself to be a US citizen why did he enter on a temporary visa on June 15th?

He was an adult, he should have had his birth certificate amended to correct his mothers false name. What I would have done in his situation if I found detention unbearable is to take a voluntary departure into Mexico, and get it straightened out from there.

He was, by his mother and then he got caught up in The Machine. Centgov does trends, not cases.

Unrealistic expectation. Would you put your mother in jeopardy of criminal prosecution for falsifying documents?
If he had access to those two items, if donât think I would have even bothered with this topic. Thereâs just something about an American not having access to his basic rights, whether they believed him a citizen or not, that drives me crazy.

Again, unsupported allegations.
Are you suggesting that they gave him a phone and he didnât use it?

I am suggesting the only thing we have seen to suggest he didnât get a phone call are he and his lawyers claims that is what happened. They are as of now unsupported allegations.
