there have been numerous cases where u.s. citizens have been held in immigration detention. data from syracuse university's transactional records access clearinghouse shows that "detainers were mistakenly placed on 834 u.s. citizens and 28,489 permanent residents between 2008 and 2012." in one case, a man was held in immigration detention for more than three years. in some cases ice has actually deported us citizens, including native-born us citizens, to other countries. one notorious case (mark lyttle) involved a puerto-rico born (and therefore us citizen) man deported to mexico. another case involved the deportation of a 14-year-old girl, born in dallas, texas, and therefore a us citizen, to colombia. although ice claims to keep no official figures on the percentage of detainees who have a credible claim to us citizenship, the american civil liberties union estimates this percentage to be between one and four percent. ice has no legal authority over us citizens.
