ICE strikes again.

[KentuckyWoman]

I live in an independent living senior village. Been watering the flower pots for the neighbors 2 doors down while they traveled to DR to see his family. They should have been home yesterday but no sign of them.

I talked to their daughter today. Husband, who has had green card for better than 50 years was denied re-entry because he got arrested for doing 20 over the speed limit in a school zone in 1992 - despite the fact the charges were eventually dropped. They are lucky, I guess. He was only "disappeared" for about 12 hours in the airport. They were allowed to arrange a flight back to DR. Yes he was escorted to the plane in shackles. Crazy.

To be honest I didn't even know he is from DR. Not that I ever asked... why would I?

1. 20 over the speed limit. 33 years ago - in shackles

34 felony convictions - in the White House

2. ICE and all its iterations are evil

3. Jesus. Body count.

They need 3,000 a day. There’s no probable cause. There’s no warrant that I’ve been able to find. There’s no concern of how the case might turn out.

Just get numbers. He was probably included in the daily count.

Just sad.

4. Insane

Will he get a chance to return ever? Or was he supposed to self-deport over this minor infraction.

5. This is just simply perverse

Corruption at the highest levels is rewarded with immunity and exoneration, where a decades-old traffic violation is grounds for expulsion.

This country needs to ask itself whose interests are being served by the current policies, and how long it is willing to let this continue.
