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.

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.

The reason why DHS can't be reformed is that something like this isn't just the uniformed brutes of ICE & other depts; It's also how many people passively complying with moving the paperwork along and things like that. Too many people who seem to be able to live with themselves after participating.
HAPPENING NOW: DHS just expedited Liam Conejo Ramos' asylum hearing to this morning, meaning it's possible the five-year-old and his family could be deported as soon as today.

obvious what’s happening here, and that they’re serious, to anyone who hasn’t entrenched themselves into the opposite take by virtue of stubbornness
The threat of immigration agents at polling places is classic voter suppression. Rudy Giuliani bragged to Steve Bannon about this "dirty trick" in 2023, saying his '93 mayoral campaign spread rumors of agents at polling places to suppress the "Hispanic illegal vote."
