ACLU and Michigan Immigrant Rights Center Demand That Grand Rapids Police Department and U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement Investigate Detention of American-born Citizen and Decorated Marine:

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. – The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Michigan and the Michigan Immigrant Rights Center (MIRC) sent l etters today to the Grand Rapids Police Department (GRPD) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) demanding an immediate investigation into the wrongful ICE detention of Jilmar Ramos-Gomez, a U.S. citizen and decorated veteran who fought in Afghanistan. On November 21, 2018, GRPD arrested Ramos-Gomez, who experiences PTSD, for a minor offense for which he pleaded guilty and should have been released December 14. GRPD called ICE, and ICE sought to deport Mr. Ramos-Gomez, even though he had the following pieces of identification on him when he was arrested:

  • U.S. Passport
  • REAL ID compliant Michigan driver’s license (which one cannot get unless lawfully present in the United States and which clearly shows he is a veteran)
  • Military ID card
  • U.S. Marine Corps tags
  • childhood Kent District Library card
