ALDO MARTINEZ GOMEZ -- DHS DEPORTATION LETTER TO US CITIZENU.S. MEXICO BORDER IN SAN DIEGO By: Melissa Mecija
Posted 11:13 AM, Apr 18, 2025 and last updated 10:15 PM, Apr 18, 2025

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — A South Bay man told ABC 10News he got an email from the Department of Homeland Security saying he had to leave the United States, even though he's an American citizen.

ABC 10News anchor Melissa Mecija sat down with Aldo Martinez Gomez, who works with a nonprofit organization and helps people with immigration cases.

Martinez Gomez said he received an email from DHS instructing him to leave the country last week. The email also stated that his parole would terminate seven days after the date of the notice. "I believe I received it because I'm an accredited representative, and I represent immigrants, and I advocate for immigrants' rights in the court. I’ve been doing that for years," he told ABC 10News.

Martinez Gomez was born in National City. He thinks the email is an intimidation tactic. "I do get nervous, because I don't want to be an error like so many errors that this administration has made," he said. "They have been talking about deporting U.S. citizens, so it is a concern because that means I'm on their radar."

enforcement, Contractors - real pillars of the community and not people to be messed with.

The intimidation factor has ramped up in this San Diego border area significantly - I'm seeing an increased Border Patrol presence in areas all around: Big men dressed in dark clothing wearing some sort of jack boot w/Border Patrol emblazoned across their back.

They have no authority to be terrorizing US citizens who happen to have foreign-sounding names.
This is crazy!

Lots of "errors" with this administration who likes to intimidate people to feel powerful.

They would love to "accidentally" repeal the 14th amendment

Fourteenth Amendment
Section 1

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.


I expect more of this when the Trump stagflation recession is in full swing and unemployment is high.

Of course a lot of elements over there started prepping right after he lost because everyone knew he would run again.

The problem isn’t the WHAT* it is the HOW. Some of their moves have been wrong but worked. They have flat out dropped the ball all over the place on others and it seems like more as every day goes by.

If a common theme is noted, it would support the recipient’s suspicion that these are intentional and intimidating.

Yes, sounds like typical trump bullshit - lie, throw shit against the wall, blame others, say it was an error, - the shithead has no morals whatsoever.

I saw news clippings from several parts of the country. All the people involved were born in the U.S., none are Hispanic or of any other minority. In other words, they are white. Two women who received these emails are immigration attorneys. One woman is a physician. A man in his sixties is retired and was born in PA. YouTube has a host of similar interviews done by local TV affiliates. What the heck is going on????
