State law makes it a crime to enter the state as an ‘unauthorized alien’ — but it’s blocked by a judge, and Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez was born in the U.S.

A 20-year-old United States citizen was held in a Florida jail at the request of federal immigration authorities despite his mother showing his birth certificate and Social Security information to a judge in court.

Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez was taken to Leon County Jail after a traffic stop and charged with illegally entering the state as an “unauthorized alien” under a state law that has been temporarily blocked from enforcement by a federal judge.

The charge was dropped, but Leon County Judge LaShawn Riggans claimed on Thursday that she did not have jurisdiction to release him after Immigration and Customs Enforcement requested that he remain in detention, according to court records. The Florida Phoenix first reported the arrest.

y'all know the plan, right? first, they eliminate all the bottom-fed workers. they try to "deport" them, but they can't. so what else can they do? they put them in holding camps. but all that lettuce still needs pickin'. so who do you think starts to pick that lettuce?

Children 🤬

thanks for including that.

[–] j0ester@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

why should kids eat free? They can work at McDonalds.

I wonder if there's a way to make a fetus work. Scientists must get on the job to make it happen!

Make them earn every moment of their existence.

Well, slavery is still legal as long as they're prisoners, so they could always ask the ~~slave owners~~ privately owned for-profit prisons to lend them some workforce.

The ones they haven't killed yet. Right?

[–] toy_boat_toy_boat@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

clearly you've yet to learn of schrodinger's prisoner

It’s almost like ICE is just a bunch of White supremacists. 🤔

[–] xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 6 days ago

although there’s probably a literal conspiracy of people trying to do that, also, naturally what kind of person would want a job with ice?
probably not super nice people

[–] ModestCrab@lemmy.wtf 31 points 6 days ago (2 children)

A blue sky post by a present journalist confirmed he had been released. I don’t have the source though…

[–] Votes@lemm.ee 25 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Here's an article saying he's released. Edit: I just linked the OP article by mistake, it says he's released in there anyway.

[–] Wazowski@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Cool, but it’s still time for street justice.

[–] fyzzlefry@retrolemmy.com 1 points 6 days ago

The best justice

Here’s hoping 🤞

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago

He's out now, thank God.

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

I wonder if the people made comments against Trump and even though they're legal they're trying to silence them.

[–] blakenong@lemmings.world 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Mods: don’t be uncivil, accept your fate.

[–] KMAMURI@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

I think they're slowing. This Canadian has been through three alts this week but I've had this one for two whole days. Only 3 comments removed and no bans. Yet...

[–] blakenong@lemmings.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

They are slowing since FlyingSquid got axed and basically left lemmy. He was a ban hungry authoritarian and an actual psychopath. I think that did wake a lot of them up. I used to go through alts like water, but I’ve been on this one for a while… which sucks because I don’t like this randomly generated username.

[–] CmdrShepard42@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago

What happened to him? I was actually just thinking that I hadn't seen him posting in a while. We argued quite often about how the Dems support the genocide in Gaza but I surprisingly never got a ban from him. Last I heard he'd moved to the UK after Trump got elected.
