Hermosillo and his girlfriend, who have a 9-month-old child together, live in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and are visiting family in Tucson. He says he has never been to Nogales.

Another family member drove to the detention center, about 70 miles northwest of Tucson, but said officials wouldn’t provide any information or release him.

I’m obviously very confused.

Or did he just say in a fit of bravado "Sure, bruh, I crossed in my great-great-great granddaddy's nutsack before you put in a border..."

Because I know several native Californios, Alto and Baja, who have said that in the past ...

There are so many bits of misinformation flying around. And everyone is immediately forming galvanized opinions before the truth ever gets out.
