CINCINNATI (CINCINNATI ENQUIRER) -Cincinnati immigration attorney Trisha Chatterjee had a problem. She needed to ask U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement how best to submit paperwork for her clients detained at the Butler County Jail.
Our media partners at the Cincinnati Enquirer say that after days without a response, she finally got through to an ICE officer who said he could give her the phone number for someone who could help.
Chatterjee said the number was for a Columbus-area Taco Bell.
“For the very first time, finally somebody answered me and I was genuinely so excited to have somebody who was going to help us and give us some information,” she told The Enquirer. “So, to get a Taco Bell phone number instead was definitely disheartening.”
Chatterjee shared her story on TikTok, where it has more than 38,000 views.
