There has been an ICE arrest in my hometown, Oakmont, PA. The agents grabbed a father in front of his 8-year old daughter as he was preparing to take her to school. The agents had no warrant. They hadn’t notified local authorities. The man was a LEGAL resident with NO criminal record. Seems like it was a typical, disgusting ICE action. I read this in an article in the Valley News Dispatch: State Rep. Joe McAndrew, D-Penn Hills, said in a social media post Friday that Jose’s immigration status is legal. He called the incident an abduction. Harriett Flores said she and Jose each have five-year work visas. Both are employed, making the visas valid. They also both have Real IDs, valid driver’s licenses and Social Security numbers. “We have affirmative pending asylum,” Flores said. The status means the couple was likely to be granted asylum in the United States. This administration wants us to believe they are arresting & deporting ‘the worst of the worst’. This is pure BS. They are grabbing any/everyone regardless of status. This is un-American, immoral and perpetrating a racist scheme. This administration SHOULD BE STOPPED. No one is opposed to rules and regulations about immigration and enforcing those laws. The Trump/Miller/Noem approach is just plain wrong and contrary to the way things SHOULD be done in our country. CONGRESS MUST DO SOMETHING TO STOP THIS!!!
