Why was Jilmar Ramos-Gomez arrested? Ramos-Go
Post# of 65629
Ramos-Gomez Was Arrested After Setting a Small Fire at a Hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan in November 2018.
Why did he lie and tell the sheriff he was an undocumented immigrant??
Quick to blame ICE, BUT IT WAS THE KENT CO. SHERIFF WHO TURNED HIM OVER TO ICE. SHERIFF'S MISTAKE!
ICE has also spoken out about the incident. In a statement, the organization said that Ramos-Gomez told them he was an undocumented immigrant during an interview on November 23, 2018.
According to the ACLU of Michigan, Ramos-Gomez, unfortunately, came home with more than just recognition for his valor.
He has suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder since returning to civilian life.
His family described Ramos-Gomez as being “a shell of his former self.”
He reportedly deals frequently with memory loss. His family told the ACLU that Ramos-Gomez “has episodes where he disappears and when he is found again, he often has no recollection of where he has been.”
