Mr. Creedle was born in Honduras but gained United States citizenship through his father, who is also a citizen. Nestor Yglesias, a spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Miami, said the agency could not comment on Mr. Creedle’s case because of the pending litigation. “Hundreds of jurisdictions have decided that they don’t unquestioningly comply with ICE detainers,” Ms. Wang said. Lawsuits against the use of ICE detainers have been brought before on behalf of United States citizens mistakenly caught up in the immigration enforcement system. Immigration authorities started a deportation case against him in 2015, then closed it after realizing that he was a citizen.
