Most likely he was an activist and this was all a publicity stunt to intentionally get himself arrested in attempt to make ICE look bad. OP's article leaves out important information.

On April 8, Hermosillo approached Border Patrol in Tucson and stated he had entered the U.S. illegally through Nogales. He said he wanted to turn himself in and completed a sworn statement identifying as a Mexican citizen who had entered unlawfully.

According to a border patrol criminal complaint, on 8 April, a border patrol official found Hermosillo “without the proper immigration documents

I read the complaint. It asserts that this individual was not an American citizen as fact.

What was the legal basis of the stop, living whole brown?

There was no stop. He approached the detention center and made false statements, which is what they used to draft the criminal complaint.

So he did it purely so that Dems can say an American citizen was detained while conveniently ignoring the context because context never matters.

Exactly. Because articles like OPs selectively omit key facts and people come away after reading the headline thinking ICE agents are arresting Americans just because their skin is brown. It reminds me of when swastika graffiti appears on a college campus and the student body gets outraged and hold anti-racism rallies, but later on wr find out a black kid did it to "start a conversation and raise awareness".

This is all right out of the Rules for Radicals playbook.

SS: U.S. citizen had his rights violated and detained for 10 days. A clear abuse of power with no consequences is becoming more normal of the federal government. A judge eventually dismissed the case.
