A Minnesota man and military veteran whose request for a passport was denied twice is now asking a federal court to intervene and declare that he is a U.S. citizen, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday. The State Department says it does not comment on pending litigation. He spent most of his childhood in Minnesota, served in the Marines from 2007 to 2011 and later served in the National Guard. The State Department requested additional information, but Esqueda did not have it and his application was denied, the lawsuit says. The complaint says the State Department demanded more information, alleging the midwife at Esqueda's birth was unreliable.
