State law makes it a crime to enter the state as an ‘unauthorized alien’ — but it’s blocked by a judge, and Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez was born in the U.S.
A 20-year-old United States citizen was held in a Florida jail at the request of federal immigration authorities despite his mother showing his birth certificate and Social Security information to a judge in court.
Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez was taken to Leon County Jail after a traffic stop and charged with illegally entering the state as an “unauthorized alien” under a state law that has been temporarily blocked from enforcement by a federal judge.
The charge was dropped, but Leon County Judge LaShawn Riggans claimed on Thursday that she did not have jurisdiction to release him after Immigration and Customs Enforcement requested that he remain in detention, according to court records. The Florida Phoenix first reported the arrest.
He’s out now, thank God.
I wonder if the people made comments against Trump and even though they’re legal they’re trying to silence them.
It’s almost like ICE is just a bunch of White supremacists. 🤔
although there’s probably a literal conspiracy of people trying to do that, also, naturally what kind of person would want a job with ice?
probably not super nice people
Mods: don’t be uncivil, accept your fate.
I think they’re slowing. This Canadian has been through three alts this week but I’ve had this one for two whole days. Only 3 comments removed and no bans. Yet…
They are slowing since FlyingSquid got axed and basically left lemmy. He was a ban hungry authoritarian and an actual psychopath. I think that did wake a lot of them up. I used to go through alts like water, but I’ve been on this one for a while… which sucks because I don’t like this randomly generated username.
What happened to him? I was actually just thinking that I hadn’t seen him posting in a while. We argued quite often about how the Dems support the genocide in Gaza but I surprisingly never got a ban from him. Last I heard he’d moved to the UK after Trump got elected.
y’all know the plan, right? first, they eliminate all the bottom-fed workers. they try to “deport” them, but they can’t. so what else can they do? they put them in holding camps. but all that lettuce still needs pickin’. so who do you think starts to pick that lettuce?
Well, slavery is still legal as long as they’re prisoners, so they could always ask the
slave ownersprivately owned for-profit prisons to lend them some workforce.so who do you think starts to pick that lettuce?
Children 🤬
why should kids eat free? They can work at McDonalds.
I wonder if there’s a way to make a fetus work. Scientists must get on the job to make it happen!
Make them earn every moment of their existence.
thanks for including that.
The ones they haven’t killed yet. Right?
clearly you’ve yet to learn of schrodinger’s prisoner
A blue sky post by a present journalist confirmed he had been released. I don’t have the source though…
Here’s an article saying he’s released. Edit: I just linked the OP article by mistake, it says he’s released in there anyway.
Cool, but it’s still time for street justice.
Here’s hoping 🤞
yep. here we are. it’s happening.
Nazis.
