🚨BREAKING: ICE agents were caught on video telling a U.S. born citizen that his driver’s license was not proof of citizenship because “anyone can get that.”
In the video, the man repeatedly told them he was born in the U.S…. In Atlantic City.
He showed them his license.
They dismissed it.
He showed them ANOTHER form of ID.
They STILL kept interrogating him about where he lived, who he lived with, whether Venezuelans lived in his home, who had been in his car, and whether the vehicle was registered to him.
All while illegally detaining him in his car.
And in the end…
The agents admitted they weren’t even looking for the person connected to the car’s registration.
So, why was this U.S. citizen stopped, surrounded, and interrogated in the first place?
The Fourth Amendment does not disappear because agents “suspect” someone might be undocumented.
You do not have to repeatedly prove your citizenship to federal agents because they decided you “look foreign enough” to question.
Yet, this keeps happening to U.S. citizens across the country.
Wilfredo is 10 years old. Last week, he represented himself in immigration court. His mother, Nexoli, was detained in Houston and has been locked up and away from her son since December. Now, DHS wants to send him to Ecuador—a place he has never been and knows no one. Nexoli has a work permit and was trying to do everything the right way. ICE must release her and stop its case to deport Wilfredo immediately. He should be treated like a kid—not a criminal.
