The cousin of the man said on Friday that the citizen born in the United States, who was struggling with dirt, was caught and detained in a vehicle as part of a migration raid that had a real identification that was rejected as fake.
Display video, By the news TelemundoThe authorities that acquired Leonardo Garcia Fenigas, 25, while at Foley’s work site, Alabama, showed on Wednesday and created his arms behind him. Someone can be heard outside the camera screaming, “he is a citizen.”
Tell Garcia News Telemundo These authorities took his identity from his wallet and told him that she was fake before he fluctuated. The real identity is to identify American citizens required by law to travel via airports and enter federal buildings. It is considered a higher security form to identify identity.
“It seems that a real identifier is no longer valid. He has a real identifier,” said his cousin, Shila Fenigas. “We have all confirmed that we have the real identity and we have passed the protocols required by the administration. He has its real knowledge and then they see it and I think that its English is not fluent and/or because it is a fake structure, it is not real.”
Garcia told Noticias Telemundo that he “grabbed me a real bad” and put the handcuffs “very difficult” on it.
Garcia said that he was released from the car in which he was detained after the officials who were arrested were given the social security number, which showed that he was an American citizen.
Fenigas said that the arrest had left Garcia, who was born in Florida, especially because the officers were also arrested and detained his brother, who is not legally in the country. She added that Garcia lived with his brother. Their parents are from Mexico.
“It was actually very painful when he returned,” Venigas said of Garcia. He said that his arms hurt me and his hands.
She said they were trying to find a lawyer, but the locals told them that it was almost impossible to prosecute a federal agent. It is not clear from the video whether the authorities of federal immigration or the application of local law are enforcing duties.
In a statement to NBC news, the Ministry of Internal Security said that Garcia entered with arrest during the targeted work process.
“He entered my body between the agents and the subject they were trying to arrest him and refused to comply with many verbal orders,” said Tricia McLeulin, Assistant Secretary of the Osconical National circles. “Anyone who impedes law enforcement activity in the performance of his duties, including American citizens, will, of course, face consequences that include arrest.”
The response did not address the rejection of the identity of Garcia.
Fenigas said that Garcia’s brother signed the deportation papers because the family did not want him to hold him “forever” as they saw that he was happening to another family, who was held for months in the Louisiana detention center.
“He is inhuman, what they are doing to our people. They treat them as if they were killers,” she said.
Fenigas said that the arrests of immigration create repercussions between the Spanish descent, even among American citizens.
“It is about the race now. It is not about whether or not you are here?” She said.
She said that her family has a somewhat large contracting company, “and many people who work with us do not work … They refuse to go to work. They said they will not go until these things calm down.”
Fenigas added that the majority of her family is working for their own account and “we do the same thing that every other citizen does.”
“It is just a crazy that we cannot be different, and the color we are. We are contributing in this country in the same way that every citizen does with their taxes,” she said. “But we have to be the ones who go to work, we will be afraid that we will be discriminated.”
“I am thinking about my family,” she said. “Although many of them are citizens, I am thinking about how we all worked in the same area in construction and they cannot sit there because they can literally harass or attack the way my uncle did.”
