Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials confirmed on April 21 that two U.S. citizens were recently arrested, but said the men told them they were illegally in the country.
Juan Carlos Lopez Gomez, a dual citizen of Mexico and the United States, was detained after being stopped by a Florida Highway Patrol trooper and telling the trooper he was in the United States illegally, a senior DHS official told The Epoch Times in an email.
