The 18-year-old was detained at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection checkpoint while en route from South Texas to a soccer camp.
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – Immigration authorities released an 18-year-old American citizen late Tuesday who had been kept in federal custody for nearly a month after he and his brother were detained at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection checkpoint while en route from their home in South Texas to a soccer camp west of Fort Worth.
Francisco Galicia was carrying a state-issued ID, which can only be obtained by producing a Social Security number and is only available to American citizens. "He’s going on a full month of being wrongfully detained. He’s a U.S. citizen and he needs to be released now.” "How would you feel trapped in a border camp, where guards wear face masks because the human odor is so strong?" Ocasio-Cortez said in her tweet."When we allow the rights of some to be violated, the rights of all are not far behind."How would you feel trapped in a border camp, where guards wear face masks because the human odor is so strong?
Until Saturday, neither she nor Galicia's family were aware of the teen's whereabouts. He was not permitted to call his mother, she said in published reports.
