Mark Daniel Lyttle, 31, is mentally handicapped, suffers from mental problems, requires insulin for type II diabetes and has depended on others to care for him his entire life. A U.S. Citizen, he was wrongly determined to be a Mexican, deported to Mexico, and left to fend for his survival in a foreign land with no medication, no knowledge of Spanish, and about five to ten pesos. And, following a perilous journey that consisted of wandering in Mexico, Nicaragua and Guatemala and jail time in Honduras, he\u2019s back and he\u2019s upset.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s very traumatizing and it\u2019s very infuriating. I lost all respect for my own country. I\u2019m not perfect, but I didn\u2019t deserve that.\u201d Mark told BNO News. \u201cThey\u2019re supposed to be looking out for Americans and they totally didn\u2019t look out for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Deportation<\/strong>
\nIt all started sometime after July in 2007 when he was charged with misdemeanor of assault on a female for inappropriately touching a female employee at Glencare Assisted Living, a half way house in Holly Ridge, North Carolina. He stayed in the New Hanover Correctional Center in the Wilmington, North Carolina area and after serving 85 days out of a 100-day sentence, he was supposed to be released early on October 16, 2008 for good behavior. That didn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\nInstead, he was turned over to Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) on October 16, 2008. He claims that a woman who worked for the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) told him that he was a Mexican citizen by the name of Jose Thomas (possibly Jose Tomas).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
WTF?<\/p>\n
I usually roll my eyes at anyone who uses the phrase \"immigration reform\", but we definitely need to reform whatever part of the immigration system was responsible for this<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"...after being wrongly deported.
