California Man Ordered to Deport 'Immediately' Despite US Birth Certificate

A man born in California recently received an email from the Department of Homeland Security instructing him to self-deport from the United States immediately.

"CBP used the known email addresses of the alien to send notifications. If a non-personal email - such as an American citizen contact - was provided by the alien, notices may have been sent to unintended recipients," a senior DHS official told Newsweek.

Aldo Martinez-Gomez, a San Diego County resident, has spent much of his life in the South Bay.

"I was born in Paradise Valley Hospital in National City and I was raised my whole life in Chula Vista," Martinez-Gomez told Fox 5 San Diego.

According to the outlet, Martinez-Gomez's birth certificate verifies those details. Still, on April 11, he received an email from DHS giving him seven days to self-deport from the United States.

"If you do not depart the United States immediately, you will be subject to potential law enforcement actions that will result in your removal from the United States," the letter said.

"Do not attempt to remain in the United States - the federal government will find you," it continued.

The Californian was among what appeared to be dozens of people who received an unexpected self-deportation notice via email on Friday. Nicole Micheroni, a U.S. citizen and immigration attorney, was another.

"It is time for you to leave the United States," the message began, adding, "DHS is now exercising its discretion to terminate your parole. Unless it expires sooner, your parole will terminate seven days from the date of this notice."

Micheroni, a partner at Cameron Law Offices in Massachusetts, told Newsweek she was not on parole and did not believe the message was a scam. Instead, she saw it as a troubling sign of the Trump administration's expansive and aggressive deportation campaign.

Pamela Rioles Saeed, an immigration attorney born in Boston, said she was shocked to receive a deportation notice from DHS.

Lazy fks are probably using some AI sort to send those messages out.

I just called the number on the notice and gave them my banking information so they could sort out the mistake. No problem.

I was right.

Another citizen ordered to self-deport

Adam Peña, a California attorney and citizen of the United States, says he was "stunned" to receive a self-deportation email from the Department of Homeland Security in early April, ordering him to leave within seven days.

Peña, born in El Paso, Texas, received a notice of self-deportation on April 10 in which DHS informed him his parole was ending and he had seven days to "leave the United States."

"I don't have a place to self-deport to," Peña told 10 News San Diego. Peña said he was "confused" when he received the email because his family has lived in the U.S. for over a century.

Peña said other immigration lawyers have received similar emails or letters, and feels it could have been the government "trying to exert its authority."

"The fact is, you know, I feel also this was sent as a form of intimidation and scare tactic, really to immigration advocates around the country, obviously I'm not the only one," Peña told CBS8.

He should extend this to tax cheats too.
