U.S. Citizen Released After Being Arrested Under Blocked Immigration Law And Detained By ICE

A U.S.-born man who was arrested in Florida under a blocked anti-immigration law and detained on charges of being an “unauthorized alien” was released Thursday evening after a night in jail, marking the latest controversy involving Trump’s sweeping immigration crackdown and deportation efforts.

The 20-year-old U.S. born man was put under federal immigration hold after being arrested by a Florida state trooper under a blocked immigration law.

Key Facts
According to the Miami Herald, a Florida Highway Patrol trooper arrested Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez on Wednesday under a new state anti-immigration law that makes it a misdemeanor for any undocumented immigrant of adult age to enter the state illegally.

The arrest was made despite a federal judge temporarily blocking the state from implementing the new law and 20-year-old Lopez-Gomez was charged with entering the state illegally as an “unauthorized alien” despite him being a U.S. citizen.

Earlier on Thursday, Lopez-Gomez appeared virtually before Leon County Judge LaShawn Riggans, who acknowledged the 20-year-old’s birth certificate was legitimate and ruled there was no probable cause for the misdemeanor charge against him, according to local outlet Florida Phoenix.

The state’s prosecutor, however, argued the judge lacked jurisdiction over the detained man’s release, as the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had formally requested Lopez-Gomez be put under a 48-hour immigration detention.

Lopez-Gomez was released later on Thursday evening, a Florida Immigrant Coalition spokesperson confirmed on X and thanked “everyone who shared, call [sic] and did anything to help secure his release.”
