An American citizen born and raised in California is unsettled after receiving an e-mail from the US Department of Homeland Security ordering him to leave the country “immediately.”

Aldo Martinez-Gomez received the DHS notice on April 11, threatening “criminal prosecution” and fines if he does not depart within seven days.

Martinez-Gomez works full-time assisting immigrants in court for a non-profit and believes his advocacy work may have placed him on the government’s radar.

    It is a huge mess. How can someone write a letter that does not contain the addressee? Let alone a letter that is threatening you to run away or else.

      It’s easier to bulk send them this way. No need for a mail merge, just spam it out to everyone on your list. Efficiency!

      This is not the happy timeline.
