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."
