"One agent soon twisted Jason Brian Gavidia’s arm and pressed him against a black metal fence outside the lot where he runs an auto body shop in Montebello, a working-class suburb east of the Los Angeles city limits. Another officer then asked him an unusual question to prove whether he was a U.S. citizen or an undocumented #immigrant.
“What hospital were you born at?” the Border Patrol agent asked.
Mr. Gavidia, 29, was born only a short drive from where they were standing… He did not know the hospital’s name. “I was born here,” he shouted at the agent, adding, “I’m an American, bro!”"

I wouldn’t assume that given his county, so try not to make it a leopard eating face / victim blaming story without evidence.
Plus if you’re really thinking statistics, he’s likely a non-voter and in CA one could hardly blame him if that was the case (our general election votes literally do not matter).

You said statistically, and Latino men in that country weren’t in the majority for Trump. But like I said, if you’re really going full statistics, non-voters tend to be the biggest group (just, we don’t exactly have exit polls for them, lol)
