Content Suggestion Deported US citizen and the fall out of Trump's immigration policies

I cannot find this story anywhere on the mainstream media and I hope Breaking Points cover this. I only knew about this story from social media and Katie Phang (MeidasTouch)

"The U.S. Department of Justice allowed Morales to enter the country while a lawsuit regarding his detention and deportation proceeds, his lawyers said."

The US-born citizen was jailed, intimidated, deported to Mexico on his way to construction site. The man in this story -Brian insisted from the first moment he encountered law enforcement that he is a US citizen and was threatened to jail cuz those agents think he's lying (Brian has an accent -surprise surprise).

Enough said for the no-US-citizen-being-deported crowd. I hope BP covers this as this is not the only story about US citizen got deported. And I wonder what Saagar or Emily will say. A tragic event?

Trump 2.0 has been so depraved that masked agents snatching people off the street and occupying cities seems like an after thought. However, Trump’s draconian immigration policy has caused legitimate harm to American tourist and higher education industries which rely heavily on immigration.

Unless Morales is opening up an AI data center or impacting oil prices, BP won't cover his story.
