What if immigration courts are also starting to target people who came here legally? (Green card holders)
What if they begin to find “clerical errors” in their applications that suggest their immigration status is “fraudulent and illegal”?
And what if they begin to target naturalized citizens, but only ones who had the misfortune of being born in “terrorists countries” like China and Venezuela and Iran?
At what point would you say that they’ve gone too far?
You have to recognize that the humanity of these people is worth more than their “legal immigration status”. The spirit of this country must continue to be the Statue of Liberty, not devolved into an ICE detention center.
I have a friend who’s been in the U.S. for 12 years and has been a green card holder for at least half that time. His siblings are citizens and minors. He and his parents are in the middle of being slow-motion deported, because the immigration courts are claiming his original application was fraudulent due to him being a national security threat. There is no new information or evidence that wasn’t in their original application. They just don’t like his country of origin and the high school his dad went to in the 70s. The whole family is trying to draw out the case so his siblings can finish high school before they’re deported.
These stories are everywhere. You can call them “anxiety” and try to ignore it, but this is not manipulation — it’s how this regime works. When they exhaust one layer of the vulnerable they have to go one rung higher up the ladder.
