A U.S. citizen was recently detained by immigration officials in Alabama after his Real ID was dismissed as a fake during an ICE raid. The individual, identified as Leonardo Venegas, experienced significant distress when confronted by agents, who handcuffed him despite him presenting valid identification. This incident has raised concerns about the treatment of U.S. citizens by immigration enforcement agencies, particularly given the reports that immigrants of color often face heightened scrutiny. The case highlights ongoing debates about the enforcement practices of ICE and the implications for American citizens mistaken for undocumented immigrants.
