Martinez-Gomez works full-time assisting immigrants in court for a non-profit

This is quite the Hanlon's Razor situation.

There have been a number of US citizens who have received these emails, all of them do some kind of work related to immigration. It's pretty clear that whoever sent out these emails just collected every email related to immigration work, and sent out a mass email. That satisfies Hanlon's Razor: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

But! The fact that they're doing this without even a passing effort at accuracy, with no concern about getting it wrong, shows how it's motivated by malice too. It's the ICE version of a reckless homicide, they're doing something they have to know would normally get them fired if not charged. But, they don't care because the current racist administration is going to revel in the pain.

So, it's a weird situation where Hanlon's Razor is both right and wrong.

This is why I said, the first time it happened with that immigration lawyer, she should have immediately brought it to a judge.

This will keep happening until there's some kind of court action.

Where are they getting these emails from? I don't mean where they are sent from, but the email addresses? Do US citizens share their email with the government?

In an email? I would have just, rightfully so, assumed it was some type of scam.

This is why they aren't allowing due process, which would expose many more "mistakes". There's likely many more who were already sent to the El Salvador concentration camp than just Kilmar Abrego Garcia. For example, this poor guy. How many more?! 😠

I hope he gets armed guards. ICE is a trafficking gang.

These aren't mistakes. The cheeseburger Gestapo are coming.

Fuck these fixing incompetent fascist.

Honestly as a American born Asian American, I'm just wondering when this will be happening to me.

“Criminal prosecution” requires a system of law. However the lawless dictator that overthrew the throne has no intention of acknowledging that there is a system of law in place that doesn’t benefit him directly.

So, this could end poorly.

First saw this pop up on LA local news IG account, knew something was up with all the trolling responses dominating. There's really no way to even report fake/suspiscious accounts over there. Very glad/relieved to see rational comments here.

If I were a judge, him using “I'm not trying to be…” would be all the evidence I’d need to prove he’s an American citizen. They must think I’m Boo Boo the Fool if they deport that man.

they just open the database and search for "gomez"

I read that the reason this happens is that immigrants use their lawyers’ email when filling out immigration forms instead of using their own email.
