A high school student who was born in the US and is a citizen has been released after spending three weeks in immigration detention, his lawyer says
Word spread of the teen's detention after the Dallas Morning News first reported it Monday. Immigrant rights advocates pointed to the case as a sign that US immigration authorities are going too far as they crack down on illegal immigration. US Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement haven't responded to CNN's requests for comment on the case.
The Mexican tourist visa may have caused officials to be skeptical of the legitimacy of his identification documents, including his birth certificate.But Galicia's case should have been easy to resolve by confirming his citizenship, Galan said. That he was detained for this long shows that Homeland Security is"overwhelmed" to the point of being unable to give each case the attention it needs, she said.
