A U.S.-born citizen, Leonardo Garcia Venegas, is suing the federal government after being detained twice by immigration authorities. The lawsuit alleges these arrests were unreasonable and violated the Fourth Amendment, claiming immigration officers wrongly target Latino workers based on assumptions of undocumented status. The suit seeks class-action status for others similarly detained during the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. DHS states Venegas obstructed law enforcement during an operation.
