Army Veteran Godfrey Wade Faces Deportation After 50 Years in U.S.
The Jamaica native, a lawful permanent resident since his teen years, landed in hot water during a 2025 traffic stop in Georgia, where police uncovered a 2014 deportation order from a missed hearing tied to minor resolved cases from the early 2000s. His attorney is fighting with appeals and petitions to reopen the case, while family rallies support through a GoFundMe nearing $28,000 and a petition with hundreds of signatures. The situation stems from a recent policy change ending special deportation leniency for honorably discharged veterans without serious crimes, leaving Wade's future in limbo despite his service and community roots in Atlanta. (the preceding is a summary from X).
What are these 'minor resolved cases'?
"On September 18, ICE arrested Godfrey Oliver Wade, a criminal illegal alien from Jamaica. His criminal history includes domestic assault, criminal trespass, reckless conduct, deposit account fraud, violation of probation, multiple arrests for driving on a suspended license."

There’s now enough of these instances of abuse to warrant a standalone thread. Please post your examples here. And by abuse, I don’t just mean physical abuse, but abuse of civil and constitutional rights, including for US citizens.
I’ll start with this plea from an immigration attorney to journalists and others who can help her get her client out of ICE detention. Her client is a US citizen and possesses a US birth certificate. Apparently that proof was not enough for ICE authorities—they sent the woman to Louisiana, which usually is the step they take before deportation.
