That's a crying shame 

Mario René López says being locked up in an ICE detention center is a very hard experience since he can’t be with his family and conditions are tough, but above all, it's hard because, he insists, he's a U.S. citizen.

"I came to the United States when I was 12 years old, with a permanent residence because my mother was a [legal] resident and she put in the papers and went to pick me up in El Salvador," Lopez, 44, said in a call from the Caroline Detention Facility in Bowling Green, Virginia. “When my mom became a citizen, I was a minor, so I automatically got citizenship derived from my mother, but for no reason I am now being detained.”

However, in 2016, according to court papers and Lopez’s attorney, DHS changed its position, deemed him a legal resident but not a citizen and initiated removal proceedings because of his drug conviction. 

At age 20, Lopez was convicted of drug offenses (in 2004 and 2005) and served a seven-year prison sentence. According to legal documents in the case, during his time in prison he was visited by officials from the Department of Homeland Security, who in 2009 determined that he had obtained U.S. citizenship from his mother under the law at the time.

"In 2016, officials changed their mind and put him in deportation proceedings.

I can't believe A.C. Slater isn't a U.S. citizen. I bet Bayside gets stripped of all his wrestling championships.

If the left-wing propaganda website is correct, then I'm ok with letting him go about his life while the legal process takes it's course.  If they do find that he should be deported, I'm ok with it, but also ok with them giving him a fast track opportunity to become a legal citizen himself.  Now, if it's true that they don't have a country to deport him to, then I'm ok with him getting "legal residence" status, but he must take the steps necessary to be a legal citizen, if he wants to be a citizen.

I think it's entertaining that it was Biden's DHS who deemed him a legal resident and not a citizen... knowing that Trump's agenda was to deport people like Lopez.  Guess the libs wanted to make sure they can count on the friend's and relatives of Lopez to vote Democrat.

Curious as to whether he has been paying tgaxes and sociol security.

 

I never knew he did a seven year stint.  then, of course, I barely was aware of him at all.
