ICE strikes again. [View all]

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?
