A murder convict serving a long prison sentence in Michigan has filed a federal lawsuit tied to a Trump campaign immigration message. Brandon Ortiz-Vite, a Mexican national, says his case was highlighted prominently in the campaign’s spotlight on immigration.
Ortiz-Vite is suing President Donald Trump and a White House official for $75 million. He is also seeking a public apology and U.S. citizenship. The lawsuit centers on the Trump campaign immigration message that reportedly featured his case as part of its broader messaging.
