ICE detained teenaged US citizen during school lunch break, family says

Christian Jimenez, Oregon high school senior, faces possible obstruction charges after traffic stop by immigration agents

Immigration officers detained a student at a high school in Oregon during his lunch break on Friday, according to the student’s family.

Seventeen-year-old Christian Jimenez, a US citizen and senior at McMinnville high school, was driving his father’s vehicle around 12.30pm during lunch when agents from the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) stopped him, his older brother, Cesar Jimenez, told Oregon Live.

Despite telling the officers he was an American citizen, one of them broke the driver’s side window and detained him. In a video shared to the outlet by Cesar Jimenez, Christian can reportedly be heard asserting his citizenship while an officer responds “get out of the car” and “I don’t care.”

Christian Jimenez was taken to the ICE facility in south Portland and released shortly before 7pm the same day, his brother said. Cesar Jimenez added that authorities are now attempting to charge Christian with “interference or obstruction of investigation”.

Must have a deal going with Safelite.

You're a citizen? We'll just have to charge you with something else then. We don't do do-overs.
