This is even worse than I imagined from the summary. They snatched him off the street and detained him overnight even though he was carrying his ID and social security card proving his US citizenship on him the whole time.

Dragging someone off the street in handcuffs and imprisoning them overnight is a pretty big deal! Some people will get fired, miss doctor's appointments, leave loved ones terrified! It takes a matter of seconds to check a wallet first!!
I understand that even in the best system we can reasonably come up with, mixups and mistakes will happen, but they should not happen and should not take this long to resolve when a US citizen is carrying their ID and their social security card.
this guy was not, but it doesn't inspire confidence that they didn't make any mistakes while sending people to El Salvador with no trial and no chance to present their case
Her murder was a tragedy, and I think we should work to reduce murders. Arresting random US citizens in the streets will neither bring her back nor prevent future murders - and in fact time ICE spends on this is time it's not spending tracking down criminals.
Probably shouldn't have let 30 million illegals in the country then, reap what you sow
I wish you guys would stop lying about how many illegal immigrants there are. The lie gets used to justify more and more extreme measures to try to 'find' 20 million people who don't exist. Just ask grok how many Biden let in:
U.S. citizens are not required to carry IDs or SSN cards. The burden is on DHS/ICE to show that detention was justified.
This is why due process is good
Executive branch is using an old ass law to skip over due process for these people. Likely not going to listen to her courts either.
He'd need to be impeached and removed but that won't happen until his cult grip breaks
This wasn't a mistake, man, it was a malicious act. ICE grabbed a brown guy without even checking his ID. What reason did they even have to assume he was an illegal immigrant? They didn't even know who he was when they grabbed him. That's not a whoopsy.
Illinois ensured their ID does not denote who is legal from those who are illegal.
You absolutely wouldn't be happy to deal with it if it happened to you, you lost your mind when the government asked you to wear some paper over your mouth
Detention would be a small price to pay to live in the greatest country on earth.
If you read the whole thread, I specifically said that I agree errors happened, but there should be a better process to verify a US citizen with ID card on them:

Even a good police system will occasionally have cases of mistaken identity, but when they happen it's a good opportunity to take a look at the process and think about whether it could be improved to reduce the rate of wrongful detentions
A driver's license and social security card do NOT "prove US citizenship."
Lmfao... You said overnight and it clearly says "most of the night", both are vague and yours is incorrect even by the poorly worded article - which is meant to seem worse than it was already.
Interesting. In the court documents it says he was handing out his resume at a jiffy lube, doesn’t mention getting a pizza at all.
Wonder how that fact magically changed by NPR. Also I’m still curious as to what time of day this is and if he spoke English

I implore everyone - don’t carry your Social Security card with you on the daily.
Spending one night in a lockup is not the end of the world.
I’m happy to deal with if it means getting rid of dangerous criminals and keeping us safe.
Small price to pay.
I'd like to see more details about this alleged incident. It sounds suspiciously too convenient.
But it happens so rarely, how does it affect you? You know like trans women taking 800 medals from girls. It happens so few times it doesn't really affect you. Right?
The point you’re missing is this. ICE wouldn’t have to be doing hard street sweeps trying to pick up criminal illegal aliens, if Sanctuary cities would stop releasing arrestee hold requests into the wild. Since they are being forced to throw out a wide net to recapture these
This is exactly what I voted for. Minorities to be scared to walk about.
Big deal. Pay the man a small settlement. It’s a country of 350 million. Mistakes get made. Good grief.
You do realize that people buy and sell social security cards, id’s, passports and “papers” on the black market.
Assimilation is part of citizenship.. as Rubio said you lied about why you wanted to be a citizen when you applied..
Or, Illinois could stop giving IDs to illegals and issue only Real ID compliant identification. Or, they could share information with the Federal govt.
So unfortunately, verification was delayed.
It’s not this poor man’s fault, it’s Illinois.
blah blah blah...feeling the pinch of losing your ngo money yet?
I think the problem is having people born in Chicago who don’t look like Chicagoans.
This lawsuit was originally filed in 2018 and a settlement agreement was reached in 2022 so why are you saying this is happening now?
So he was a illegal citizen and got deported? There’s nothing else to the story?
did he produce said identification, or was he trying to be all Billy badass and teach them evil ICE agents a lesson?
Don't cause no trouble, won't be no trouble.
You probably don't know but they can purchase fake SSN and IDs. Have for 30 years.
If there weren't millions more that deserve deportation, I might have some sympathy. Thinking of Laken Riley, I'll withhold the sympathy card. Shit happens

I’m sure there’s much more to that story, but not in the way you fantasize.
These stories are crafted to pull on the heartstrings of White women
White men must harden their hearts and tell their women to STFU
Now imagine if he had left his wallet home.
With no due process after the arrest, he'd likely be in a prison in El Salvador right now.
It probably won't be long before these people don't get released and all we'll know is that suddenly there's a lot of people going missing
Blackbagging people off the streets three months into the presidency by essentially an official sturmabteilung. Boy, you guys are in for a rough four years!
I disagree with the framing that that makes it *worse*. Is it somehow more okay to snatch random people off the street if they don't have their social security card on them?
Buying pizza while brown is now a detainable offense in the American Reich.
People are not walking around with their birth certificates or passports on a trip to get food and idiots acting like they should are either bots or crappy Americans who don't believe their own bs.
Disgusting. What's worse are the magas blaming Dems in importing immigrants for their failure to identify this man.
Stuff like this won't really stop until they go after the wrong people and violence ensues tbh
Noriega probably didn't offer much of a fuss because he knew it was an opportunity for a massive lawsuit payout, and honestly. smart move.
How many US citizens are now sitting in prison in El Salvador?
This is what fascists, nazis and dictatorships do! Wake up! You'll lose everything unless you rebel NOW!
It’s time to impeach Donald Trump and dismantle his despotic regime immediately.
It’s officially a regime now; there’s no sugar coating this one.
Social security card proves nothing...illegals have been provided with SS cards
If corrupt democrat thugs did not erase the borders in the first place none of this would be happening
Blame hussein obama
On the same day allowed for resegregation of all public facilities and restaurants
I am assuming the Hispanic community is ok with this, considering they voted in record numbers despite his exact words. I support people's decisions, and this is the one they made.
Red flag that shows this is made up: “he was carrying his social security card.”
When you started issuing documents to illegals, this is the result you knew was coming. Stop complaining about it.
Unfortunate. He should be mad at his brothers who've come illegally. Bet he cheers it.
We should deport anyone if there’s a risk that occasionally someone will be briefly detained by mistake. Get this man fifty bucks for his trouble! I’d be pissed but in the end this is no big deal.
He might wish to consider whether he would be more comfortable in Mexico now.
I’ve been wrongfully arrested before. It does suck, but it’s not like it doesn’t happen every day.
Meanwhile, some of y'all refused to vote for Kamala because she "wasn't good enough" on Gaza.
Welp, perhaps if Democrats didn’t allow a million criminals into the country unchecked accident like this wouldn’t happen.
They didn’t “snatch him off the street”, they raided a restaurant that was employing illegal immigrants and he was caught up until they could verify his identity and release him.
Maybe if you didn’t bring in tens of millions of illegal immigrants?
You can literally be detained as a US citizen if you match the description of a murderer.
hate to be that asshole, but social security and ID are not proof of citizenship, you need other documents for that ( and nobody carries them around)
