California woman in shock after ICE agents detain father, a legal resident, outside home

Short version: The guy is 61, has lived in US under permanent legal status, had done a misdemeanor 30 years ago.
ICE locks him up and wants to deport him based on that.
ICE even admitted is was not a criminal warrant but an "administrative one".
This is a long planed purge. We are much closer to when Russian plant Trump decides to invade Poland.

(8,702 posts)I wasnt born here
I was born in the Netherlands (mumbling)...to American parents
(if asked why I mumbled I know that may be a deal breaker but please, Im a filthy foreigner, Ill over look the minor detail of my parents if you will)
I just have Naturalization papers from the state department. I have a netherlander birth certificate. No real birth certificate at all, long or short, with any sort of seal at all. None.
Most importantly: Im an liberal atheist!
As a bonus Ill happily get deported to any part of kingdom of the Netherlands. No muss, no fuss.
I can leave today
