As Miguel Silvestre stared at the government document he’d been emailed, he couldn’t believe what he was reading. His full name was atop the “Record of Deportable/Inadmissible Alien” form from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, but just about everything else on the page was false.

Despite being a U.S. citizen by birth, Silvestre had reason to be paranoid about his status. Remarkably, this was not the first time the government had targeted him for deportation. After Stockton police arrested him for public drunkenness in 1999, Silvestre, then 21, was deported to Nogales, Mexico — twice — under an erroneous removal order.
