U.S. Citizen Deported to Mexico Granted Permission to Return to the U.S.

HeadlineSep 01, 2026

A 25-year-old U.S. citizen who was wrongfully deported to Mexico was granted permission to return to the United States. Brian José Morales García was deported in April after a police stop. The Texas Tribune reports he was born in Colorado but grew up in Mexico and was living and working in Texas when ICE apprehended him. He said he repeatedly told federal agents he was a U.S. citizen and that he could provide copies of his birth certificate and Social Security number. But the agents did not believe him. García arrived back in Texas on Sunday following a lawsuit challenging his removal.
