An American citizen born and raised in California is unsettled after receiving an e-mail from the US Department of Homeland Security ordering him to leave the country “immediately.”
Aldo Martinez-Gomez received the DHS notice on April 11, threatening “criminal prosecution” and fines if he does not depart within seven days.
…
Martinez-Gomez works full-time assisting immigrants in court for a non-profit and believes his advocacy work may have placed him on the government’s radar.
This is why they aren’t allowing due process, which would expose many more “mistakes”. There’s likely many more who were already sent to the El Salvador concentration camp than just Kilmar Abrego Garcia. For example, this poor guy. How many more?! 😠
These aren’t mistakes. The cheeseburger Gestapo are coming.
This is why I said, the first time it happened with that immigration lawyer, she should have immediately brought it to a judge.
This will keep happening until there’s some kind of court action.
And then it’ll just keep happening because there is zero enforcement.
Fuck these fixing incompetent fascist.
Honestly as a American born Asian American, I’m just wondering when this will be happening to me.
First they came for the …
Doesn’t matter when.
It will.
Unless you and everyone else start to speak up for the others.
they just open the database and search for “gomez”
First saw this pop up on LA local news IG account, knew something was up with all the trolling responses dominating. There’s really no way to even report fake/suspiscious accounts over there. Very glad/relieved to see rational comments here.
If I were a judge, him using “I’m not trying to be…” would be all the evidence I’d need to prove he’s an American citizen. They must think I’m Boo Boo the Fool if they deport that man.
I read that the reason this happens is that immigrants use their lawyers’ email when filling out immigration forms instead of using their own email.
If that’s the case, why is the email addressed to him and not one of his client’s names? How would you even know which one it’s supposed to be going to?
Looking at the body and subject in the scan of the printout of the email indicates they didn’t specify his name.
His name appears in the To: line of the header, but without the opportunity to examine the raw headers of the email, I would assume that his mail client replaced his email address with his name for display purposes.
While there is certainly more than enough incompetence, it seems clear that it falls short of actually targeting him.
Failing to provide the name of the person in the body of the email is incomptetence.
Fox included the disclaimer about contact email… but IMO the person who built the mail merge was incompetent and that will not prevent ICE from coming after Aldo.
It is a huge mess. How can someone write a letter that does not contain the addressee? Let alone a letter that is threatening you to run away or else.
How can someone write a letter that does not contain the addressee?
It’s easier to bulk send them this way. No need for a mail merge, just spam it out to everyone on your list. Efficiency!
This is not the happy timeline.
You’re expecting competence from this administration?
Writing a letter is quite literally something you learn to do in second grade…knowing how to do that isn’t remotely where the bar for competency is.
Not if cheeto is hiring.
I get your point, but YES we should expect competence. Don’t give up.
