They had people being deported while they were on the queue to renew their documents. US American born citizens were deported just because they "looked latinos". Your legal status is pretty much just in the eyes of whoever ICE agent you're gonna meet today.





Is there proof of this? What’s the source?

US citizens were deported because of their skin color?

I think this is disinformation.



>Gavidia was released

>Eventually, the officers reviewed the identification in his wallet and released him

I thought you said they were deported based on their skin color? Both of these articles seem to say the opposite of that.


Much selective quoting on your part, here is the other half of the truth:

> Gavidia was released, but Javier Ramirez, another US citizen who is Gadivia’s friend and coworker, was detained by two agents, forced facedown on the ground and taken to federal detention, where he has remained in custody, the New York Times reported.

Arrested and eventually released is guilty until proven innocent.


But you said they were deported. Being detained is not the same thing as being deported.
