A Mass. teenager fought with her younger brother over a cell phone. Hours later, ICE detained her.

18 year old girl, legal citizen, pushes her 12 year old brother. No injuries.
ICE takes her from Lynn, MA to Cumberland county, ME, and she's under threat of deportation?
Deportation to where??
This isn't America. This is beyond alarming.
... legal citizen, ...
Legal status. Which I am sure they're talking about revoking because she's been "charged with a crime."
That is the plan. Even for people who are in the US legally, just charge them with a crime, and that legal status can be pulled and they can be deported. Maybe even to Gitmo in the near future.
ICE is Gestapo.
ICE is Gestapo.
Only charged? Not convicted yeah? Wow.
Key fact:
“It’s unusual for (ICE) to pick up an individual with legal status and not convicted of a crime. That usually doesn’t happen.”
Emphasis mine.
Edit: This is intended to reinforce your point for those who don't read the article.
... "usually doesn't happen."
The irony of the use of the qualifier "usually" is not lost on me.
Could be a lot of things. Could be a tourist visa, student visa, H1B, green card, probably a mess of other things I'm not aware of. Some kind of "You're not a citizen, but it's legal for you to be in the United States" paperwork.
I'd expect that the 18 year old is probably attached to her parents' status.
This isn't America.
But it is. And it's just getting started!
whats an immigant?
hurr durr
