US Army veteran born in Jamaica, living in US for 50 years, jailed by ICE

[Coldwater]

after not using turn signal

It’s been 50 years since Godfrey Wade arrived to the United States from Jamaica at the age of 15 with his mother, moving to New York with a green card that granted him permanent residency.

The Black man enlisted in the U.S. Army a few years later, spending eight years in the service, where he was primarily stationed in Germany before he received an honorable discharge. He then began a civilian life in Georgia while raising a family, working as a fashion designer, master tailor, tennis coach and chef over the years while staying out of trouble.

That is, until September, when he was pulled over in Conyers, Georgia, for failing to use a turn signal, which was when police discovered he was driving without a license and arrested him.

1. Deport him for failure to use his turn signal?

[Coldwater]

2. He was driving without a license

which is why he was arrested, once in custody it was enough for ICE to swoop in.

5. Anyone who volunteered for the US Military should be granted citizenship.

6. He had a green card before he joined.

There are foreign nationals (typically they come from areas around US facilities, so it's easier for them to pass background checks) who join the US military for a chance for naturalization, but most who had been born outside the US are already naturalized as children, or they were adopted by US Citizens who may not yet have gotten the naturalization paperwork finished.
