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.
Mexico mother got a hospital birth certificate the Mexico Mother passed the child off as a Legitimate America born to a CITIZEN child Born - The child can't INHERIT USA citizenship from a MEXICO Citizens - Go to Consular Of Born Aboard at the Naturalize department
once the hospital gave her a birth certificate the Mexico Mother passed the child off as a Legitimate America born to a CITIZEN child being Born -- don't skip the the Consular Of Born Aboard at the Naturalize department --
THE GUY IS not American CITIZEN - THE mother is a Mexico citizen she JUST had her baby born aboard - she supposes to go to the Consular of the baby born aboard offices to register her child and take her child back to Mexico with her but once the hospital
Didn't your mamita told you to stay away from the border,you too brown cabrón you gonnagetdeported
I saw this in movie
It's all an act, stupid political stunt. building the wall and deporting illegals,it's what's going to happen.that kid speaks perfect english and born here in highschool and can't explain to another American that he belongs here? You ain't flying that bull by me liar's.
America the superpower .Putin must wake up laughing every morning at the state of America .
He going to get paaaaaid!!! Laaaaaw suit!!! $$$$$$$$
He was freakin' born here! Trump obviously has no clue what the heck he's doing as he instructs ICE to just storm into people's homes. Do they check for themselves first? It's unconstitutional! I looked it up IN the actual Constitution. Obviously, Trump hasn't read it.
So visa said born in Mexico?
Read the report, he had false papers on him listing Mexico as his home country. And other papers saying something else.
Oh, you know there was a lot more to this story!
Sue trump!
Show me the money for false imprisoning

CNN we all know how much you hate America but I would say you don't want America hating you walk carefully
it’s time he sues for wrongful detention. ICE have to follow the law, they are not the law.
Do you really think this will bother trump's racist cult? They are already OK with copy murdering black kids and infants in concentration camps. I'm not even sure they are human anymore.
Russia's deputy secretary of state said he asked Russia for the data, saying it was not intentional to fly South Korea's air-to-air Russian fighter jets. Russia is scheduled to make an official announcement soon.
So a minor.... with criminal parents ..... had no other legal family in the US?
Who can believe any story coming from a commie news network like cnn
So basically this isnt a story, an american stays in america. Wow ,breaking news
Where were his parents
I hope he sues the hell out of everyone involved.
Sickening. I am so sorry
What is he being held for?
Being born here doesnt mean you're American...
This administration is just plain disgusting! How does a US citizen get locked up for 3 weeks for being brown! I hope he sues!!
The nut.
What is to stop ICE Gestapo from stopping and detaining anyone they just don't like the looks of it have a personal problem with.
This happens ONLY when you Make America Great Again !!!
First
Sue
This is about racism. Just correct the mistake that children born in the US are citizens. If the Patents are mexican, so are the children.... Most countries (including mine) do have a proper racist citizenship-law. Get over that liberal place of birth thing!!!
Has anyone ever checked trump's background? With checking I mean his papers. All we know about he background is from the press or Twitter.😁 I want to see trump's papers! Maybe he is illegal ! 😁 2020 solved...
Welcome to the land of Trump😡.
So he was traveling with his illegal brother, got caught up in a web of screwed up docs compliments of his illegal mother falsifying documents, and it's ICE's fault? Got it! His situation was created by his own family, their ire is misdirected.
If I were him Id sue the government and you know, he would win, illegal imprisonment, a few million would do and a personal apology from trump, written and spoken
It took three weeks to confirm that he’s a citizen. I see a lawsuit.
Wow! This is getting crazier
Natural born human smuggler.
He was born in US but his younger “brother” was not？ What a young illegal immigration broker！
Way ahead of yourselves on this. Wait for the whole story. Your agenda is exposed again.
Trump is also turning a blind eye to Japan's ungentlemanly attitude.

North Korea will not stay still in economic cooperation with South Korea, Japan. North Korea lashes out at Japan for hindering peaceful unification and ruining the peaceful unification of the two Koreas in the new era. They say they are ready to destroy Japan.
Always ask a minimum of one question for follow up after reading a headline
Shameful!!!!!!
I wonder if tRump is going to order ICE to raid the maternity wards of the states and round up the newborns and detain them in cages to be deported. Would not surprise me one bit.
Oh-wee, I 'll bet he has some stories to tell. He should talk to Rep . Cortez.
Chucky
Japan announced that the Tokyo Olympics, to be held in July next year, will supply agricultural and fisheries goods to the Olympic athletes' village. As a result, the risk factors of sports people around the world have increased significantly due to various diseases since the-
American citizen are not required to carry identification by law. Next Trump will try to make it a law. Sounds like Nazi Germany.
Somehow they look like the Keystone cops
IvanCNN I hope the kid sues ICE CBP & DHS into oblivion
This dude is in high school? I thought this was my father.
What idiots,
This American US born student need to sue Donald Trump personally for locking him in detention for no reason at all.
Tell the whole story. How his mother lied on his birth certificate, how she filled ina visa with his name for someone else, how he was with his brother who was illegal.
I think that if you read the article with the Mexican visa , mothers real name not on birth certificate and brother not citizen, you would be confused also.
Ok so if the mother hadn't lied about him being born in Mexico on a visitor visa years earlier this probably wouldn't have happened. Not to mention his brother who he was with was here illegally and voluntarily went back to Mexico.
For those who don't like to read articles, it turns out the mother falsified her son's documents because SHE IS AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT.....
And why was he coming across the border illegally
Better than letting in one illegal that murders an american. Thanks anyways fake news
Shit happens !
With all the technology of the 21st century they still can’t sort it out. Who’s running ICE?
I hope he gets 50-100 million in the lawsuit
Did he have his identification? I'd like to know more about this since cnn likes to mislead in their headlines. It's doubtful he was detained just because they felt like it.
And!!?
Great job CNN! As always! 😂😂
So, If I get a Mexican VISA filled with US nationality, Would I become legal to ICE?🤔
Japan has invaded Korea 714 times and ruled as a colony for 36 years. It is preparing to open the era of the Japanese emperor at the expense of the U.S. and the rest of the world by expanding the Russo-Japanese War and the Sino-Japanese War and even the Pacific War.
And would still be there if it wasn’t for the meddling media .. he should probably sue..
Its his smoldering eyes. CBP and DHS refused to not commit unlawful acts because he has smoldering eyes.
There will be many more American citizens swept up in these raids. When you have an administration as morally bankrupt, cowardly and predatory as this one, overzealous agents are bound to abuse their authority.
As Nostradamus predicted, Abe is now Mavus, a country preparing for World War III. People all over the world should be wary of Japan wearing the mask of Japan's wicked angel.
Having your papers with you is not enough for the Trump Brown Shirts.
I hope he sues them for millions!!! His rights have been violated!!! 😡
He also had a Mexican tourist visa with him that inaccurately lists his country of birth as Mexico, setting up a conflicting nationality claim.... and brother was illegal...
There will be mistakes and let's hope that this is corrected a.s.a.p. Now how about all the people here illegally with criminal records who have been rounded up? Balanced reporting anyone....anyone?!!!
How does this ever happen. He needs to be compensated - hugely!
His fault for being born brown. Maga
Beyond fked up
Calling bullshit.
Lawsuit time!
I am so sorry!
So, once again, it took public disclosure to get USBPChief ICEgov to admit to their screw up ... or maybe their intentional infliction if meanness and hatred - in a brown-skinned American citizen. We hope he sues the crap out of BORDER patrol and ICE.
the only thing that the GOP was concerned with was he looked like the rest of the Mexicans. New Flash... people that look like him are also U.S citizens.
Black men in America been in jail for decades cry me a river
Persecution of the Brown by the US Government.
With the conflicting documents showing both Mexican and US citizenship. His brother also not having US citizenship. You would be confused as well as to what his actual citizenship was.
Feel free to sue the crap out of the U.S. government. –Sincerely, an American
Cry for plp not for a singel man
Welcome back!
El no tenía pasaporte. Nunca lo obtuvo. Tampoco la ciudadania. Era USA Ciudadano por derecho pero a falta de los tramites. 3 senanas son muchas pero si todos los Ciudadanos Americanos hiciesen lo mismo simplemente la frontera colapsaria y nadie podría entrar. FakeNews
How much Trump will not tweet expressing his disgust this happened to a US citizen. He won't, unless he was white.
Children in Bangladesh no worries? Children 5 yers old
Because, 'Merica?
This is bull that it is happening!
And no cry for child in Bangladesh ?
I hope he is suing
Oh look, seems we’ve cracked the case, from the article - “He appears to have been detained because of a Mexican tourist visa that inaccurately lists Galicia's country of birth as Mexico”
ce la vie
Though,good enough he's out...👍
Someone needs to get him a lawyer for this emotional distress
