Recently I shared a post about that the US government deports thousands of US citizens. Today, I'm sharing a news about a US citizen who has ben held by ICE for 3 years and his compensation has been denied.

The system needs a serious reform and people should have a lawyer during the process.

The "whole legal disaster" could have been avoided if Watson had an attorney at the outset, wrote the district judge who ordered his damages. With a lawyer, "plaintiff probably promptly would have been declared a citizen and released almost immediately after he was arrested, if he were arrested at all," he said.
