US-born Leo Garcia Venegas says ‘I just want to work in peace’ after agents in Alabama said his ID card was fake
An Alabama construction worker and US citizen who says he was detained twice by immigration agents within just a few weeks has filed a lawsuit in federal court demanding an end to Trump administration workplace raids targeting industries with large immigrant workforces.
