@msnbc: A U.S.-born American citizen being held at the request of immigration officials in Florida has been released amid worry by his mother and advocates that the state's anti-immigrant fervor could lead to the same happening to other Americans. Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez, 20, had been held about 24 hours after he was arrested Wednesday by Florida authorities under a state immigration law a judge temporarily blocked. On Friday, the judge denied a state request to lift the block on the law, according to Thomas Kennedy, a spokesman for Florida Immigration Coalition, an advocacy group. The law allows Florida authorities to arrest people who have entered the state and are suspected to have come to the country illegally. #immigration #trump #news #florida #politics
There is no lawful circumstance where ICE can detain a US citizen. NONE, he can sue and he will win.

he said he was here illegally which gave them cause for arrest. If he was born here why would he say he was illegal?

It’s wild to me that the judge viewing his authentic birth certificate still didn’t have jurisdiction over ICE. What if they actually sent him to El Salvador? This is lawlessness!

So to be clear, he told the arresting officer, he was in the country illegally and then complains about being arrested

No one is safe under this administration, as you can be arrested without due process and end up in El Salvador the next day

Is there any body cam footage to prove Juan Carlos stated he was here illegally? Because if he showed a photo of his SSN card would mean he had some legal status. I highly doubt he said that.

This is MSNBC is this a true report or is this more of their nonsense? You can’t believe a word this broadcaster says about anything you’d have to prove to me. It was even true. MSMSNBC is known for lying.
