A Mexican national serving a prison sentence of up to 100 years for murdering his girlfriend has filed a federal lawsuit against President Donald Trump, claiming campaign advertisements highlighting his immigration status caused him emotional distress and damaged his reputation.
Brandon Ortiz-Vite, 27, is seeking $75.5 million (£56 million) in damages, a public apology and US citizenship after alleging Trump used his case as a political talking point during the 2024 presidential campaign.
