AI Summary
Main Idea: A Peruvian immigrant says ICE wrongly linked him to a New Jersey arrest attempt after he had already self-deported and received payment to leave the U.S.
Key Points:
- ICE said officers tried to stop a vehicle in New Jersey to arrest Friedrich Castillo-Ormeno, and one officer was hurt in the incident.
- Castillo-Ormeno says he had already left the U.S. in March after a final deportation order and was back in Peru when the incident happened.
- He shared records showing he bought tickets home and later received money through the CBP Home program for leaving voluntarily.
- ICE and DHS stood by their account at first, but federal prosecutors later charged a different man, Eduardo Cruz Garcia, in the attack on the officer.
