A marriage interview at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services offices in Miami came to an abrupt end when the husband was unexpectedly arrested by ICE.
María Eugenia Hernández and Oscar Hernández waited three years for the interview portion of Oscar's citizenship application. But questioning came to a halt when María was asked to
step out of the office. Twenty minutes later, she was told that her husband had a deportation order from long ago and had been arrested by ICE.
“I went to the immigration appointment with a lot of confidence because it was an interview. I never imagined they would take my husband away under arrest,” María told the Miami
Herald. “We are trying to do the right thing.” This is not the first arrest during a marriage interview in South Florida. In fact, Oscar is one of four of known arrests, Lisa Lehner, a senior
litigation attorney with Americans for Immigrant Justice, told WTVT Wednesday.
Though the marriage interview was a required portion of Oscar's citizenship application, those with pending deportation orders can legally be detained by the agency at "any time,"
according to an ICE spokesperson.
“ICE will no longer exempt classes or categories of removable aliens from potential enforcement. All of those in violation of the immigration laws may be subject to immigration arrest,
detention and, if found removable by final order, removal from the United States,” spokesman Nestor Yglesias told the Herald.
How does the American Gestapo sleep at night?
Trying to do the right thing and immigrate legally? Fuck you, you're deported.
GEE, this sure won't have some sort of unintended consequences, like oh idk, making people less likely to do it the legal way..
By believing what they're doing is right.
It's easy to sleep at night when you know that everything you do ultimately contributes to owning the libs...
Thank you ICE, you're truly doing the lords work.
Probably banking on still having a job when Trump crashes the economy
American facepunchers - Europe is struggling too. I'm sorry for the shame you feel. We're in this together.
If you still feel apathetic, I'm, sorry, but you need to wake up before they come for you. I know it seems silly but they will.
ICEIS - get it right:

You assume they actually care about law and order and not just getting rid of anyone who doesn't match their paint swatch.
Clearly a very dangerous man.
It's unfair bullshit this that really gets under my skin. They're trying to get in legally, do the right thing, then some jackass who knows the interview is going on goes out of their way to report them. It's like they're practically using these legal application proccesses as traps to net them and throw'em back over the border.
so where's the people saying illegals should follow proper channels?
The proper channels Trumpers mean lead directly to the showers, and a shallow grave soon after.
Trump supporters don't care about proper channels. They never really cared about people who aren't white anyways.
Pretty much this. Them saying follow the legal channels was what they'd say so they didn't have to say "Because I don't like brown/foreign people." Not because they wanted them to follow legal channels
probably pretty well knowing nobody stops them...
They also say follow the proper channels because the proper channels are unfair and ruthlessly difficult to go through.
"The came here illegally in the first place so they have no right to apply for citizenship now"
I've heard waaay too many of these arguments so I can assume the role for you if you'd like.
That's exactly the argument I've heard time and time again, but playing strawman/devil's advocate so many times has only taken a toll on me. It's just depressing what I hear and I can't bring myself to say everything they say because it's so awful.
