This is so fucked up. The wife was brought in illegally when she was a minor by her mother. Her mom applied for asylum to make their status legal but missed an immigration hearing 7 years ago, triggering a deportation order. After getting married she applied for a green card like she was supposed to do, but instead they are going to deport her based on her mom's mistake.
She didn't choose to come to the US, didn't choose to do so illegally, didn't choose (or even know about) her mother missing an immigration hearing, and didn't choose to stay even though there was a deportation order because she didn't know about the order. She followed the rules and is being punished.
Why would missing one appointment even be grounds for deportation for anyone in the first place? Let alone deporting their daughter several years later and after she is married to another citizen. She has multiple valid claims to citizenship and it's blatantly obvious. But someone saw a rule that was broken so there must be punishment I guess
One of the Big Lies that they repeated over and over throughout the election season was the one about the "border crisis," where allegedly criminals and rapists were flooding into the country across the southern border by the millions. They promised to round up and deport all of them, literally millions of people. You can see where the problem arose: Lies collided head-on with reality. There simply are not millions of migrants for ICE to round up. They don't exist. They never existed. It was all a lie.
Now, the regime has to appear like it's Doing Something(tm) by actually deporting people. Stephen Miller has even given ICE a quota of 3,000 deportations a day, and it's struggling. They have to make the numbers somehow, and the low-hanging fruit are the immigrants that they already have records on, and know about. ICE can just comb the immigration records, and go pick up people whom they know exactly where to find. Morality and logic have nothing to do with it, it's all about throwing the red meat of performative cruelty to their base, and intimidation to their political enemies.
I mean, why not just make the numbers up? It's not like they have any moral compunction against lying.
Because evil.
Because the goal is to remove brown people, and immigration status is an easy way to start doing that. They will move on to a more Permanent Solution as time goes on.
They aren't looking for reasons to help people, just reasons to deport, no matter how thin.
I have friends who are naturalized citizens, often for decades, and all say they aren't worried, but I am. These people don't even respect Birthright Citizenship, which guaranteed in the Constitution, they certainly aren't going to respect naturalized citizens. I've heard reports that they are combing through everyone's files, looking for any discrepancy, and if they find ANYTHING, they'll lose their citizenship or green card.
Bottom line: If you are from somewhere else, they want you out.
