Deported Dreamer Juan Manuel Montes claims he was minding his own business on a street in Calexico, Calif., the night of Feb. 17 when Border Patrol agents approached him, took him into custody, and, a few hours later, in the wee hours of the morning of February 18, deported him to his native Mexico.
“At approximately 1:00 a.m. or later, CBP officers walked Mr. Montes to the U.S.-Mexico border (near Mexicali, Baja California) and physically removed him from the United States despite his DACA status,” Montes’ lawyers wrote in a lawsuit filed against U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
