KTLA: California newlyweds say feds tricked wife into ICE detention

https://ktla.com/news/local-news/california-newlyweds-say-feds-tricked-wife-into-ice-detention/

A newly married man says he and his wife were lied to and tricked by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services when his wife was detained by federal agents during what they believed was her final step toward becoming a citizen: an interview for her green card.
...
He said that when it came to his wife’s immigration process, the couple followed every rule, which is why they showed up for their USCIS appointment at the federal building in downtown Los Angeles. There, they were reportedly told that their paperwork was in order and everything looked good.
...
Moments later, the representative asked Marques to accompany him to make a copy of her passport.

As soon as she left the room, May said, she was detained by immigration agents. The only explanation given to the couple was that Marques had missed a 2019 court appearance — one they say she was unaware of.

“We let her out of our sight. She never came back,” May said. “We were lied to; we were tricked in order to have her separated from the attorney we brought specifically for any kind of worst-case scenario like this.”

I don't care about the 'blowback'. If only ONE THING gets done, I want it to be this and I want every single one of these worthless fucking goons fired no questions asked.
