>...but he was told he had to file his complaint in writing to an ICE officer who was assigned to his case. He said he did so, but received no response. >The refusal by ICE officials to listen to Carrillo's claims of citizenship appeared to violate an agency policy that requires officers to thoroughly and quickly investigate such claims. If there is any doubt whether someone is a citizen, the policy instructs officers not to arrest the person until the confusion is resolved.

  > ICE officers are equipped to verify the documents? If Immigration and Customs Enforcement is not equipped (internally or by communication with USCIS) to confirm the validity of purported immigration documents, why bother having the agency at all? I mean is there anything more essential to their purported mission?

  The damage of an illegal immigrant being out a couple hours longer is minimal. The damage of a citizen being falsely arrested is ideally the worst possible thing we should do. In the case of blatant malice like this, that should be treated exactly like the kidnapping that it is.

    Yea that would be ideal but I am trying to verify GP's assertion that " problem lies with ICE officers" or if they are just doing what they are asked to do.

  They can certainly contact USCIS, which holds the official records for immigration and naturalization. Both USCIS and ICE are part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. They can also contact the U.S. Department of State, which issues passports, to verify the passport.

  Start by putting a passport authentication device in the offices. Secondly if they are too incompetent to do this, establish a contact number with the relevant agency to verify it quickly. Honestly if they can verify your passport in the airport, how hard is it for ICE to do this?
