A New Mexico teen was recently detained by immigration agents on a recent visit to Tucson, Arizona and held for nearly 10 days after being accused of entering the U.S. unlawfully. The teen is a U.S. citizen.
Jose Hermosillo, a 19-year-old New Mexico resident, was detained in Nogales, Arizona, a city along the Mexico border about an hour south of Tucson. Court documents allege that he unlawfully entered the country from Mexico and was found "without the proper immigration documents." The complaint, filed on April 8, claimed the young American had admitted entering the U.S. unauthorized from Mexico.
