She explained confusion over Galicia's nationality stemmed from a tourist visa issued when he was a child and the fact that his mother used an assumed name on Francisco's birth certificate.

perhaps if his mother hadn't falsified documents his verification period would have been much less

or are you advocating out leos not verify documents?

He was with his Brother, that should mean something if the Bro was legal.

Why this?

" Galan said, noting that the only girl in the group was released without having any documents on her at the time.

Oh so as long as one of them has accurate documents that is ok?
lol
mkay
if you say so.......

IMO if his mom simply would not made phony documents this would not have happened.

He is 17 and they don't even let him call his Mother who is in the US?
Here we are all elcertoniced up and they can't check tx for his birth! I can even do that from my home for 10 bucks!

"However," she said, "[CBP] has access to a database where they can check that Francisco was born here in the U.S. It shouldn't have been a problem.

The kid is done the way the church used to do to find witches!

Additionally, Galicia said he was constantly harassed by officers trying to coerce him into signing a deportation order. And each time he asked to make a phone call to his mother, to let her know where he was, "the officers told him that he had no right to an attorney while he was in Border Patrol custody and no right to make a phone call," she added.

Meanwhile, Marlon Galicia agreed to self-deport after two days. Although he is a minor, his mother was not informed. He is now living in Tamaulipas, Mexico, with his grandmother.

It's like catching a dolphin in a tuna net. Not intended, but it happens.

We work to make improvements to the process (dolphin-safe nets) and things get better.

Non-story.

Did you miss this part of the OP...."Two of them were immediately cleared but Galicia's 17-year-old brother and another boy, were in the country illegally. They were detained. "

Haven't looked deeply into this story, but the little I saw on MSM showed an interview with this young man, who didn't speak English ? Weird an 18yr. old American citizen didn't speak English ? On top of that " fishy " paperwork ?

If our government was doing there job this wouldnt even be an issue. You can thank the Democrats for the profiling, if they would work across the isle to fix the border this would nEver have happened.

a reply to: MountainLaurel

Lol, that's part of the problem I guess, has a US birth cert. But cant speak English. Did he not go to school here? Guess i should have read the whole story.

Came here to post this.

Are we to assume he is legal when he is in a car with 2 illegals?

I would say the ICE employees did exactly what they had to, to ensure they were all legal, especially if the documents were not up tp snuff.

Two of them were immediately cleared but Galicia's 17-year-old brother and another boy, were in the country illegally. They were detained. When officials questioned Galicia, he told them he was born in Dallas. He also produced a Texas ID, a social security card and a copy of a wallet-sized birth certificate.

But he wasn't illegal was he! What if this was your 17 year old, just happened to look hispanic? In the USA we didn't used to say no you can't call your Mother kid! Then place a kid with 60 other Men.

It says his Mother is undocumented in one article and she plans to sue, why have they not picked her up?
She has one undocumented kid and they keep the citizen kid and why the Mother untouched by this?
The whole business is like a witch hunt they take who they want to take, don't like the look of you or how you use a tone to them or anything and you are the one.

He speaks english. He had a school ID Why don't we just target employers and not give welfare so no reason for anyone to come?

No but he had his ID and births are a second to check if you have a state and city.

Good point. I think it's only fair she get picked up. Book her for child endangerment and maybe some fraud charges after determining if she collected any benefits illegally. Guilty or not she should then be deported if she's not legal. She can then sue from the safety of her home country completely safe from the wicked ICE agents and our horrible country.

a reply to: Ksihkehe

Can't imagine why she should be allowed to sue at all, half the articles are saying the incarcerated kid was 18 he could sue for the month he was locked up while a citizen.

She is also looking to bring back the illegal son??How can that be if she is illegal? Does all of this sound strange?

She plans to file a civil lawsuit against the government for what she believes is Francisco Galicia's wrongful detention. She's also trying to reverse Marlon's voluntary removal. "Border patrol should not have allowed [Marlon], a minor, to sign for his own deportation so I am looking into bringing him back," she said.

all she had to do was NOT FAKE DOCUMENTS.....
seems pretty easy to me

or are you advocating fake documents now?

If his brother was there legally it probably would have gone different, but his brother wasn't there legally.

but Galicia's 17-year-old brother and another boy, were in the country illegally.

Then add in that his mother falsified his place of birth and things like this happen.

Galicia, 18, was in a van with his brother Marlon and three other high school friends on June 27. They were on their way to Houston for a recruitment event when they were stopped at a border patrol checkpoint in Falfurrias, Texas — about 50 miles from home and within the corridor of the Rio Grande Valley Border Patrol Sector.

Officials wanted to know their legal status. Their answers varied.

Two of them were immediately cleared but Galicia's 17-year-old brother and another boy, were in the country illegally. They were detained.

When officials questioned Galicia, he told them he was born in Dallas. He also produced a Texas ID, a social security card and a copy of a wallet-sized birth certificate.

Oh look, what everyone said was going to happen is happening. ICE is now rounding up anyone that looks Hispanic and deporting them. Of course this will probably get better. I mean I'm sure Trump's new order that allows for expedited deportation won't see any US citizens kicked out of the country.

Let's ask Julio Ovalle what his thoughts are on this new policy. He was only wrongfully deported and then kidnapped by the cartels. I'm sure he can speak very highly of ICE and their thoroughness on validating a person's citizenship.

Keep your facts straight, the kid was travelling in the company of two illegals.

I would back that plan 100%. I would think most tax payers would. Imagine the savins.

Yea, cause illegal immigrants never obtain fake/stolen/doctored documents or IDs, right?

He was with two illegals, best bet is to vet everyone very deeply, and make sure he doesnt have stolen or fake documents. He should have chosen his traveling companions better, and not aided an illegal immigrant.

If we were able to eliminate the fake news we would be living in rare and happy times. I seriously get sick of the Left’s need to create fake narratives to make it seem like this isn’t one of the greatest times to be alive in the history of the United States.
