U.S. Citizen Denied Entry to the Country from Mexico
BROWNSVILLE, Texas - A 20-year-old native Texan says she's barred from re-entering the country after she denied, under grilling by the U.S. Border Patrol, that she was a U.S. citizen. Weslaco, Texas, native Brenda Vazquez made the false statement in a signed statement Feb. 19 after seven hours of intimidation by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer, according to a federal court petition filed by her attorney, Jaime Diez, of Brownsville. The officer then confiscated the Texas driver's license and U.S. birth certificate she presented upon her return from a visit to the Mexican border city of Matamoros, according to the petition. Vazques remains stranded in Matamoros, barred from the United States, Diez told The Brownsville Herald for a story in Sunday's edition.
