Brian Bukle, an American citizen, was unlawfully detained for over a month by ICE after serving a prison sentence before his citizenship was confirmed.
Brian Bukle, 61, filed the suit in federal court along with the ACLU of Northern California and the Asian Americans Advancing Justice - Asian Law Caucus. It alleges that after Bukle served a prison sentence in California, he was held in the Mesa Verde Detention Facility in Central California for over a month before his citizenship status was verified., Bukle and his brother repeatedly told the immigration agents that he was a naturalized citizen, but their pleas were ignored.
Bukle spent 36 days in ICE custody before his citizenship status was revealed, and a federal judge threw out his deportation case. Before his release from prison, Bukle was reportedly told of the hold ICE had placed on his case, requesting his transfer into their custody upon finishing his sentence. Bukle told California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation officials multiple times that he was a U.S. citizen, which was reportedly ignored every time he told someone.
