An American citizen born and raised in California is unsettled after receiving an e-mail from the US Department of Homeland Security ordering him to leave the country “immediately.”

Aldo Martinez-Gomez received the DHS notice on April 11, threatening “criminal prosecution” and fines if he does not depart within seven days.

Martinez-Gomez works full-time assisting immigrants in court for a non-profit and believes his advocacy work may have placed him on the government’s radar.

      Fair enough but in that case maybe don’t carry a gun at all. Like I said, it’s basically suicidal.

      Regardless of the current, evolving circumstances, law enforcement officers treat any gun as a deadly weapon. So they will shoot first & ask questions later.

        Come on man, these Gestapo would treat being completely unarmed as a gun, especially if you have tattoos or dress upper end urban street attire as it’s been reported.
