More details to this question:
we came over as a family when he was 12 yrs old. now he is 32 . He is arrested and being held under a immigration hold.he is suppose to be legal here but for some reason they are saying he is not. we went through this before yrs ago but they dropped it because they said he is a legal citizen so im not understanding why he isn't now. I became a citizen 3 months after he turned 18yrs old he was not married and still lived at home with me. does the law say that hes a child until hes 21yrs of age

If he was a Green Card holder (Resident) and you became a citizen PRIOR to his 18th birthday, he would automatically derive his citizenship. But that doesn't sound like it's the case and you don't mention if he was even a Resident. Need more information.
