US Citizen Ordered to Leave Country Despite Birth Certificate: DHS Email Sparks Outrage
Aldo Martinez-Gomez, a lifelong California resident, received a DHS deportation order demanding his immediate departure from the United States, threatening prosecution and fines. This erroneous notice, also received by another US citizen, appears to stem from a data entry error, with the DHS attributing the issue to migrant contact information mistakenly linked to US citizens. Martinez-Gomez, a non-profit advocate for immigrants, fears the order is linked to his work and worries about potential detention. Despite providing proof of citizenship, he is making contingency plans due to the unsettling situation.
