Is that you, Miller? White House sustains a giddy freedom boner at the prospect of deporting Boulder attacker's family
Following a firebombing terror attack in Boulder, Colorado of suspected antisemitic motivation, the Trump administration moved quickly, vowing that the accused undocumented attacker, 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman, could be deported by tonight on an expedited basis.
However, the White House social media account went further than that, suggesting his entire family could be punished over it. "Six One-Way Tickets for Mohamed’s Wife and Five Kids. Final Boarding Call Coming Soon," said the post.
This collective punishment is unsettling, American Immigration Council expert attorney Aaron Reichlin-Melnick posted — and possibly against the law.
"What the guy did was absolutely heinous and he should rot in prison for it," said Reichlin-Melnick. "But without any evidence that his wife and kids had anything to do with this, this is just cruelty for cruelty's sake. You can't have an actual investigation of the family's role in this amount of time."
