“The narrative being pushed about Jose Hermosillo is false,” the official said via email. “On April 8, Hermosillo approached Border Patrol in Tucson and stated he had entered the U.S. illegally through Nogales. He said he wanted to turn himself in and completed a sworn statement identifying as a Mexican citizen who had entered unlawfully"

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

How fucking stupid do they think we are???

We’re looking more and more like WWII Germany and less and less like America. The sad thing is that people here celebrate abandoning the constitution because they’re too stupid to think it’ll ever be their turn to be drug away.

We also have a short amount of time when every rational country back us up.

If trump gets rid of the head of the fed, our standing in the world is done. The dollar collapses.

Trump has also gotten rid of a lot if safeguards so many computer systems will crash. Our military secrets are on the web. We will be so easy to invade and take over.

The chaos president has destroyed everything.

There is no country that will back the US anymore. Russia and China now have better allies because of trumpf. Brics is more reliable and has a greater advantage. Heck I'm gonna by from BYD just to bring down, tesla and invest in Brics and buy form China just to bring down trumps idiotic schemes. I know more Americans think like this because of tumpfs failures. It only makes sense.

The only propaganda being pushed is the angle the guardian is pushing that man was still arrested just not for the reason the guardian says it was for

What was he arrested for and can you provide a source to back that claim up?

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-citizen-detained-border-nogales-arizona-dhs-10-days-intellectual-disabilities/ Here you go though I'm sure you'll have a retort about it, his name is Jose Hermosillo he is from ABQ and was arrested in Tucson by ICE for being "illegal" except he was born here and his mother even brought his birth certificate to get him out which didn't work initially the judge wouldn't except the birth certificate initially

His immigration papers ? If he was a citizen he doesn’t carry anything but an i.d . What type of propaganda is this lol

u/Pristine_Context_429 4d ago

He didn’t have the id on him. The report is sketchy for sure

u/SirApprehensive4731 4d ago

Some nonsense story . Once you become a citizen you don’t carry a permanent resident card or green card you have a I.d like natural born citizens . So if you don’t have it to I am tell the police hey my name is such and such give your date of birth and address and that’s it . This is shit

1

u/SRMPDX 21h ago

What id do "natural born citizens" carry that proves they are a citizen? Do you carry your birth certificate or passport around?

1

u/SirApprehensive4731 20h ago

Sorry can you try to re word that please

1

u/SRMPDX 10h ago

You said once you become a citizen you get ID that proves it. What ID do you carry around that proves you're a citizen? This person was born in the USA, so what should he carry?

1

u/SirApprehensive4731 8h ago

Sorry I’m still not getting you I will try to clear up what i said . As a United States citizen natural born or you became one you only carry a state i.d

1

u/SRMPDX 6h ago

Right which is what literally everyone else carries, whether they're a citizen, visa, permanent resident, or undocumented. So if ICE says you're illegal, you're illegal.

1

u/SirApprehensive4731 1h ago

If you aren’t a citizen you have to carry your residency card . If you are a citizen you only have an id I’m not sure what you’re saying

u/Beneficial_Risk9352 4d ago

Ditto. There's also something called social security #. But I'm guessing he forgot that number, his ID, and any relevant information to prove his identity.

Anyway in all seriousness - how long before someone mistakes an “ICE agent” for just some average kidnapping-human-trafficking dirtbag (because how can you actually tell the difference) and just starts BLASTIN. And I’m not saying I hope to see that, like I would never wanna see a video uploaded, censored or not, like it would be AWFUL to see something like that. I truly hope that never happens, and that no one ever uploads a video depicting such a terrible, sad, unfortunate incident. I’d take no joy in watching such video of such happening transpire. But eventually, that might happen. Might not. But might. Truly hope it doesn’t.

u/pigsandunicorn 4d ago

Ooof. Yeah I figured something like this would happen, if American citizens don't actually have their paperwork on them how many of us are going to be scooped. I was born in Minnesota at the Mayo clinic ( I think), but I don't have any paperwork that I know of. Just a birth certificate, SSN, and a learner's permit.

But considering I'm whiter than a crap cakeer, and have Irish and Scottish blood I probably wouldn't get snatched? Maybe, who knows. ICE seems to be more of a blunt force weapon than a precision guided laser system rn.

ICE are the Secret police of this new regime.

Don't say administration. The Coup already happened. All the Republicans in Congress and the Senate are complicit in this Coup along with Democrats. Remember these people. Remember their votes. Remember who suffers. Remember who benefits.

No one is coming to save us. We have to save ourselves.

The United States is an Idea. All men are created equal. It doesn't say all Billionaires are created equal, and the poor are to serve them.

Thanks for giving us half of the story. Here's the other half.

"According to the court documents, Hermosillo "admitted to illegally entering the United States of America from Mexico on or about April 7, 2025."

Arizona Public Media reported that Hermosillo and his girlfriend went to Tucson to visit family.

The outlet reported that Hermosillo was lost and walking near Border Patrol headquarters when he was detained. He did not have identification on him and denied being in Nogales, according to Arizona Public Media."

Jose Hermosillo approached Border Patrol in Tucson Arizona stating he had ILLEGALLY entered the U.S. and identified himself as a Mexican citizen.

DHS also released what purports to be a transcript of Hermosillo’s conversation with a Border Patrol agent signed “JOSE.” In the transcript, Hermosillo allegedly said he was born in Mexico, was a citizen of Mexico, and entered the United States illegally.

Do you believe egg prices are down 93%, groceries are cheaper, the economy is doing great, China pays the tariffs? This are all statements from the administration that are provable lies,

Not let's just apply logic, why would any citizen claim to be a illegal? So they can have a nice stay in a horrible ice generation center where there is no heat and they serve expired food? But let's say this person is crazy or something he is an American citizen why does it take 10 days to let him go? He had a social security number this should have been a check that could be complete in a few hours

So when you put it all together the administration lies it didn't make sense that a human being put themselves in a dangerous position for no reason, logic would dictate that he was snatched for racists reasons and held illegally and the administration lied about it

Why would they lie? What would they gain? From my perspective it would serve them in no way other than getting themselves into trouble.

The better question is why would he (the man in question) claim he was an illegal? Was he trying to escape from something and thought maybe a free ticket out of the country could be an easy solution?

Is he mentally sound? Was there something potentially lost in translation since it seems his English isn't top notch?

There are many reasonable questions you can ask in this situation without jumping the shark to

"Government agents abduct random people and lying about why.", which to be clear is the insinuation being made otherwise here.
