I've definitely got something here, but I'm not sure what the hell it is.
Are you guys going to go back to debating about the fact that a couple hundred US citizens are deported from the USA every year (
http://stateswithoutnations.blogspot.de/search/label/ICE%20deporting%20US%20citizens), and about how hard or easy it is to get ID in the USA, and how the deportation process could or should be improved?
Or should I just lock this thread?
1) This guy told ICE he wasn't a citizen to avoid jail. Then he files a suit against the gov't when they listen to him???
"What becomes clear in this report is that once Lyttle, who has a long, well-documented record in the criminal databases as a U.S. citizen, indicates he wants to go to Mexico ... and so agrees that he is from Mexico and tells the ICE agent at a jail where
he is classified as bipolar that he wants her to set it all up.
2) Close the thread because the OP is only using it as a platform to insult people.
Scroll down, there's more than one case documented. And then there's a link "Older Posts" which takes you to a second page that's as long as the first one. In all there seem to be six pages. Also: "Bipolar" as in the mental disorder, I'm sure you've heard of it.
Go on, read the rest of it. Familiarise yourself with the appeals process which can take months or years. Those are months or years during which a US citizen is held against their will by an agency that legally has no jurisdiction over US citizens, without being provided with an attorney or being allowed any of the rights which are legally granted to them.
Here's an article providing something of an overview.
