I don’t understand how republicans can be okay with the billions of taxpayer money being spent on detaining these people in for-profit detention centers.


Better than on the streets victimizing citizens - especially the violent criminals and the ones who have committed crimes against children.

Is there any hope that he’ll he released or are they trying to deport everyone they round up? It’s so sad. He has a lawyer but I’m not sure how aggressive they are, and the system is clearly backlogged.


Apparently. There is a daily quota. Contact the media and see if you can get a story out and that ICE is detaining people who are here legally and are not criminals. Use social media.


How do you know he is here legally?
Sounds like he isn’t if he has been detained.


Have you been under a rock? They have rounded up US citizens and detained them. They are not careful.


Good grief. I can understand some citizens being detained temporarily especially if they are in the company of an illegal. But OP said this happened earlier last month. Please cite a case in which a US citizen has been wrongfully detained for a month.

We have so many people who are working to come to the US the legal way. They are doing the paperwork and paying the fees and waiting.

It angers me that people who come illegally are jumping the line. We should not be rewarding them.


I’m curious. Decades of Europeans took boats, coughed a few times, were admitted as citizens, and some were even given acres upon acres of stolen land. Now the descendants of those same people are all about “not rewarding “ people who have already complied with more rules than any of the early 20th century immigrants ever had to do. Pulling up the ladder behind you is the American way?


The people who came over a century ago followed the process in place at the time. The people coming in illegally have NOT followed the process in place.
It is not complicated.

He has also followed all immigration steps in hopes of receiving his green card. His kids are U.S. citizens. This is really hard.


You are missing small, but important detail: how did he entered the US? In what status?

Face it OP doesn’t know jack about this person’s immigration status or his wife’s status. Only that they have an anchor baby. The rest is all hearsay.

Highly possible given the way things are going. Does the other birth parent have legal status?

Was he in the country illegally? Does he have a civil or criminal charge or record?

State his visa or citizenship status OP.
