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.
That is actually an easy fix, they can just strip you of your citizenship. It happened many times during the second red scare.
They don’t need a conviction of some kind?
A secret tribunal was enough during the red scares. Sometimes the evidence used was a book that included subversive behaviour which the FBI obtained by breaking into a house. Sometimes it was an informant who may or may not have been telling the truth.
I suggest you read up on the red scare. Red Scare: Memories of the American Inquisition: Memories of the American Inquisition: An Oral History
