Was in Mexico on a company paid vacation last month. Flew out of Lax to Nuevo Vallarta during the re-entry prosses TSA asked to see my passport and green card wich are both valid TSA then scanned my green card when he gave me a weird look and asked me when I obtained my card I Have been here since 1985 first arrived here "legally" and obtained a permanent green card when I was 4 years old in 2008-9 I renewed my green card and it was valid and updated "finger prints" "new photo" and with a new experation date of 2017 . TSA then scanned my fingerprints then asked me to follow them to secondary . I then waited 30 min to speak with another TSA officer that asked me about my travels I answered all there questions when she asked me if I had ever been arrested ??? I then asked her if I was being detained she answers "NO" then I told her I don't have to answer any more of her questions . So she called her superior officer wich then asked me to coperate it shows you have a arrest dating back to 2005 wich was an arrest but no conviction . He then asked me if "I had my court docs on me " I answered no who travels with there court docs ? So then they striped me of my belongings and locked me in a room for 6 hours for no apparent reason . I was very frustrated after 6 hours when I finally banged on the door and demanded to speak to whoever was in charge . TSA chief officer then opens the door and asks me to step out and tells me I overlooked your file and you are free to go my green card and my passport were confiscated and temporary green card was issued . TSA chief then tells me if you don't recieve your passport and green card within 30 days you will be contacted by INS with a court date to see a immigration judge ??? Its been almost 2 month with no contact no passport and a temporary green card that expires in dec 2015 ???
