A man deported to Mexico has claimed that officers not only refused to see his documents but accused him of fraud

A U.S. citizen has been deported to Mexico despite telling arresting officers that he had proof of citizenship at home, according to a new report.

According to Univision’s Lidia Terrazas, 25-year-old Denver-born Brian Morales was threatened with either deportation or prison time following a traffic stop in Texas by Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents.

This is the latest in a string of incidents involving U.S. citizens and Department of Homeland Security agents during the first 18 months of Trump’s second term in office. In addition several American children have been deported alongside their parents, including a child undergoing cancer treatment in the U.S.

    So… if he if he is a US citizen. Doesn’t that mean Mexico could deport him right back? 🤔

    If he goes to the USA border from Mexico and is denied entry into the USA when he is a USA citizen, that’s the whole ballgame. Then citizenship means nothing.
