Self-deported immigrant says ICE misidentified him after New Jersey stop

A Peruvian immigrant with a final removal order says he self-deported after ICE announced a targeted stop in New Jersey and that he is not the driver involved in the incident; he fears the mistaken link could affect his future immigration proceedings and his U.S.-born daughter’s status, even though he left the U.S. March 2 and later received a CBP Home incentive. The DHS/ICE statements are referenced alongside a separate case in which another man was charged for weaponizing a vehicle against an officer.
