After CBS News gave a teary-eyed account of a Chicago man detained by the Department of Homeland Security for being in America illegally, DHS made it clear that that weepy sympathy is misplaced.
Federico Alcantar, 22, was taken into custody in October, according toCBS News. His supporters say that because he is responsible for looking after his siblings, he should not be deported.

“He was racially profiled, forced into a traffic stop, where he was removed from his car at gunpoint,” Katherine Greenslade, lawyer and director with the Immigrant Justice Legal Clinic, added.
Then DHS let the truth drop in aposton X.
