An 18-year-old American citizen has been held in U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody for over three weeks and his family fears he will soon be deported, according to the teenager's lawyer.
Francisco Galicia told his mother that he was detained because he did not have a U.S. passport with him and the agents who stopped him refused to believe that the other documents he was able to present were real. His 17 year-old brother, Marlon Galicia, was detained for two days before he signed a voluntary deportation form. He is now staying with his grandmother in Reynosa, Mexico.
Galicia's attorney told The Dallas News that she met with CBP officers and showed them Galicia's birth certificate and other documents to prove that he was an American citizen but he was not released, she says she has faxed those same documents to ICE.
