Fans say #freeromo @sfgiants Sergio Romo detained in Las Vegas Airport

Fans reacted quickly to reports from TMZ that San Francisco Giants Pitcher Sergio Romo was handcuffed in the Las Vegas Airport earlier this week after he could not produce a proper ID. Romo used the World Series celebration parade to make a political statement about U.S. immigration policy.
