Showing Original Post only (View all)U.S. Citizens are also detained at Trump "concentration camps." [View all]
ICE Is Dangerously InaccurateEven American citizens are not immune from immigration raids.
By Darlena Cunha
July 12, 2019
Ms. Nuetzi is a cheerful white woman who spent her childhood in Ocala, Fla., and has been an elementary school secretary in Gainesville for 20 years. In 2016, she voted for Donald Trump, and was ecstatic when he won. A year later, her drivers license expired.
Ms. Nuetzi went to the motor vehicles agency to get a new one, and for the first time in her life, officials did not accept her birth certificate...
I called to get a new passport, and they told me to go to immigration, Ms. Nuetzi said. But why would I go to immigration? Im not an immigrant. Then I called Homeland Security and the woman on the other end of the line started laughing at me.
It proved nearly impossible for Ms. Nuetzi to extract herself from the ICE machine.
Davino Watson is a U.S. citizen who was 23 years old when ICE held him for more than three years. A New Yorker, he was eventually dropped off in Alabama with no explanation and no money. After he was released, Mr. Watson filed a complaint and a court awarded him compensation in 2016. The next year, an appeals court decided the statute of limitations for that complaint had expired while he was still in ICE custody.

According to CBS News:
Who will be targeted in the expected ICE roundups of immigrant families?

Will families be separated because of this operation? (ie ICE raids on Sunday 7/14/19)
Deportations can lead to family separations, as they have in the past. Roundups would not only affect undocumented immigrants with pending removal orders, but also so-called "mixed-status" families with members who are green card holders and U.S. citizens mostly U.S.-born children.

It's more like Hitler's rise to power, only Trump-Nazis are demonizing Hispanics...
