DHS Threatens U.S.-Born Immigration Attorney: ‘It Is Time For You To Leave’
HuffPost
“Do not attempt to remain in the United States," the threatening email read. "The federal government will find you.”
An American citizen who received an email from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security telling him to leave the United States “immediately” says he believes he’s being singled out for his work as an immigrants’ rights advocate.
Aldo Martinez Gomez says he received an email from DHS on April 10 threatening him with “criminal prosecution, civil fines, and penalties” if he didn’t leave the country within seven days.
“It is time for you to leave the United States,” the letter begins.
“I was taken aback,” he told the hosts of “You Don’t Even Like This Show,” a podcast. “Like, I was born on this side, dude. How are you sending this to me?”
Martinez Gomez was born in San Diego County and is a U.S. citizen. He works for a nonprofit as an accredited representative, defending immigrants in the courtroom.
