Following recent arrests involving Venezuelan doctors in Texas, immigration authorities are facing renewed scrutiny after reports that a 25-year-old U.S. citizen was detained and deported to Mexico earlier this month.

Brian José Morales García says he was born in Denver but raised in Mexico and was living and working in Texas at the time of his arrest. He was pulled over near Fredericksburg, about 70 miles north of San Antonio, for a window tint violation, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
