Veteran’s Daughter Living in US 48 years Locked Up by ICE

President Donald Trump‘s immigration enforcers have reportedly arrested the daughter of a U.S. veteran.

Alma Bowman, 58, was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in March during a scheduled check-in at its Atlanta field office, according to Atlanta News First. She has been living in the country since she was 10 years old.

“She is an American citizen, and to lock her up in immigration detention is deeply offensive to her humanity, to the Constitution, and is just plain wrong,” family attorney Samantha Hamilton, of Asian Americans Advancing Justice, told Newsweek.

Why so many?Why no ID?Why masked?Why no uniform?Why in the middle of the “right” way” to become a citizen?Why, why, why . . .

New phase of Trump deportation push: ICE arrests at immigration court

As the president pushes for mass deportations, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has a new strategy for arresting immigrants.

First, ICE lawyers terminate people’s cases in immigration court. Then ICE officers arrest them at or just outside the courthouse. As a result, immigrants who may be trying to gain legal status in the United States are instead targeted for rapid removal.

Dozens of these immigration court arrests by masked, plainclothes law enforcement were reported across the country last week, including in Texas, Arizona, Nevada, and New York. Those included a Venezuelan student in the Bronx, who Chalkbeat reports entered the country lawfully, and asylum-seeking men in Las Vegas.

KOH on the Trump Pardon: "This guy was supposed to be paying Social Security and Medicare taxes for his employees and instead bought a $2 million yacht."

Trump pardoned Paul Walczak, a nursing home executive who illegally withheld millions from his workers' paychecks (while buying a luxury yacht).The pardon came after his mother attended a $1M-per-person Trump fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago last month.Everything is for sale.

The 35 richest Republican members of Congress have a net worth of $2.5 billion. They stand to gain from the GOP budget's tax cuts that disproportionately help the rich. Meanwhile, they're cutting Medicaid and food assistance for millions of their constituents.
