An 18-year-old U.S. citizen set off on a Texas road trip to attend a college soccer team tryout only to end up in the custody of federal immigration authorities for nearly a month, his attorney told The Washington Post on Monday.

Francisco Erwin Galicia, a rising high school senior in Edinburg, Tex., was traveling on June 27 to North Texas with his brother and a group of friends for the scouting event. They were stopped at a Border Patrol checkpoint in the South Texas town of Falfurrias, 65 miles north of their hometown, according to his attorney, Claudia Galan.

They were asked for papers. And Galicia had plenty, including a wallet-sized Texas birth certificate, a Texas ID card and social security card, Galan said.

But U.S. Customs and Border Protection detained Galicia anyway over suspicion that his documents were fraudulent, she said, making him one of hundreds of American citizens in recent years who, mistakenly targeted by federal immigration authorities, have been forced to prove their citizenship while the threat of deportation hangs over their head.
