She plans on presenting the same documents to ICE officers later this week.
“I presented then with his original birth certificate and other documents and they ignored them. So now I’ve faxed over all the documents to the ICE agent handling the case,†Galan said. “He’s going on a full month of being wrongfully detained. He’s a U.S. citizen and he needs to be released now.â€
The Dallas Morning News reviewed a copy of the birth certificate and it lists Galicia as having been born at Parkland Memorial Hospital on December 24, 2000. Other documents include a congratulatory certificate his mother was given by hospital staff when he was born, a high school ID, and a health insurance card.
Neither ICE nor CBP responded to requests for comment.
The ICE detainee locator system shows Francisco is being held at the South Texas Detention Facility in Pearsall and lists him as being born in Mexico.
