As the Trump administration continues its crackdown on immigration, more stories of legal migrants holding green cards being detained by ICE come to light. The latest in this saga entails a man who alleges he has been detained at an ICE facility in Bowling Green, Virginia.
His name is Mario Rene Lopez, a 44-year-old man born in El Salvador. He entered the U.S. as a permanent resident in 1992. His mom became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1998, when he was 16 years old. Because of this, under law 8 USC 1432, which was repealed in 2000, he would have been granted automatic citizenship.
