Likely yes it was racism. And of course good ol’ stupidity.
Not really following that particular person, but couldn’t he have simply written out, say, a request for instructions in English, or explaining his situation to his interrogators?
Did he even have access to a pen and paper?
If they gave him a pen and paper. I guess they didn’t do that simple thing. He couldn’t have told them because he’s mute.
Well, yes, if -
- they had given him pen and paper
- removed the handcuffs so he could write
Trump’s ICE is moving to deport a Korean green-card holder who has been in the country for 35 years and is working on a vaccine for Lyme disease.
His only brush with the law came in 2011; a minor pot possession charge for which he did community service. He has been detained for more than a week without access to a lawyer.
Working on a vaccine?
He’s doomed.
Ground News does exactly that. A news aggregator it compares the amount of coverage and the headlines used for news outlets left, right, and center, plus rates them for ‘high’ or ‘low’ factuality. It also has a Blindspot feature for stories heavily covered by one side while ignored by the other. Reviews are positive for the most part,
There are three subscription tiers at $10, $30, and $100 annually but you can get discounts from a number of YouTubers.
Even a minor drug possession charge is enough to revoke green card status, unfortunately. But there still seems to be a lack of due process.

You’d think they would have done that back in 2011.
Maybe they did, and it never caught up to him until he tried re-entering the country just now?

Green cards only last ten years, so assuming his was valid, he renewed it at least once. You’d think they would have caught it then, but that was probably a more reasonable administration.
And cruelty. Mustn’t forget the cruelty.
I heard on the local news this morning that there are seven confirmed cases of tuberculosis at the Tacoma ICE detention center., with 35 people exposed.
Cue a press conference from Karoline Leavitt where she credits the president with saving the country from a tuberculosis pandemic by locking up and deporting all those infected illegals that had been roaming the streets…
DHS has announced a deal with the State of Indiana to add 1,000 beds for an ICE facility at the Miami Correctional Center which they are dubbing the “Speedway Slammer”.
They’re gonna have cute little alliterative nicknames for all of these, aren’t they?
Cute alliterative names suggest summer camp and not internment camp.
But the merchandising! Think of how many t-shirts and caps they can sell.
So ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ is OK because it presents as a ‘summer camp’; but ‘Alligator Auschwitz’ is not OK because it trivialises it?
They should put together some minor league baseball teams representing the camps.
“Today, we’re bringing you an Internment League match featuring the Alcatraz Alligators and the Speedway Slammers! The temperature here in Florida is 110 degrees in the shade with 98% humidity. We’ve got a swarm of mosquitoes in right field, and alligators patrolling the moat outside the stadium. This year so far, we’ve had six splash downs!”
