A green card holder from Argentina is detained in South Georgia’s Stewart Detention Center. His parents, who voted for President Trump, now regret their choice.
Gentile was targeted by immigration officials because of a misdemeanor on his record following a 2020 conviction in California of infliction of injury. He was initially sentenced to five years’ probation, subsequently reduced to three, in a case that was closed in 2023, court records show.
In February, after Gentile returned to the U.S. from a trip abroad and landed at the Los Angeles International Airport, Department of Homeland Security officials confiscated his green card and Argentine passport.
