42. I'm not saying they should lie or need to lie

They may well be lying, I'm not there, so I have no way of knowing.

But it appears that he wasn't born in the United States, but could well be naturalized, in which case he needs to provide that paperwork and then sue the government.

But if he doesn't have those papers, then they can deport him. IF there is already a deportation order for him, it will most likely be quick. If they're lying about the existing deportation order, then he needs a good immigration lawyer to ensure that he has due process.
