The fact that they get to participate in the first place says everything it needs to about the double standards the Olympics and world competitions have for Israel and the United States versus everyone else.
Israel gets booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. Presenter makes note of it, too, says it's the first time they've heard booing all night.

There’s no reconciliation with or reintegration of these government employees after this
Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved.

DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.
EXCLUSIVE: Terez Metry was 13 when her family fled to Tennessee from Egypt in 2011. Then, they left her behind. She only recently discovered she had an order of removal from 2011. But she was following the legal path to citizenship. On Monday, at a routine DHS meeting, Metry was detained.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

So what now. Do they just get to keep attacking this family until they get the outcome they want?
UPDATE: The court granted Ramos' family a continuance at today’s asylum hearing, per school officials in his district.

"Today’s ruling provides additional time, and with that, continued uncertainty for a child and his family," says Zena Stenvik, superintendent of Columbia Heights public schools.

See, tennis fans? It’s not that weird to ask athletes questions like this on the world stage.
With the winter Olympics starting today in Italy, US athletes are being asked (by foreign journalists) how they feel about what ICE is doing.

Short answer, they are not happy and are ashamed as we are.
