In a story that’s sparked outrage — including from one of the leaders of the #AbolishICE contingent of the Democratic Party, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) — a young man who appears to be a U.S. citizen was detained for three weeks by Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) after crossing the border with his younger brother, who is a Mexican citizen. But as more details have emerged, the reason CBP has delayed in releasing the young man has begun to make a lot more sense.
In a story promoted by Ocasio-Cortez, among others, a young man who appears to have been born in Dallas, Texas was picked up by Border Patrol and detained for over three weeks. The incident, said Ocasio-Cortez, proves that “CBP is detaining *American citizens.*”
