ICE mistakenly arrested a U.S. teen, then reportedly opted to keep him detained anyway—because what's a little identity mix-up between bureaucrats? The agency's approach seems to be: “Oops, but he’s here now.” It’s a Kafkaesque plot twist that proves due process sometimes gets deported too.

In a twist stranger than fiction, ICE detained 18-year-old Francisco Erwin Galicia, a Dallas-born U.S. citizen, for over three weeks. Despite presenting valid identification, including a Texas state ID and Social Security card, Galicia was held in squalid conditions, losing 26 pounds. His ordeal underscores systemic flaws in immigration enforcement, where even citizens aren't immune to bureaucratic blunders.
