Law Man who came to the US lawfully at 9mo Exonerated after 43 years in Prison - Immediately Arrested by ICE and Awaiting Deportation

Sometimes it happens in error or I suppose sometimes maliciously.

When I think about it this statement was a bit weak - it does seem Trump's administration has been cutting a few legal corners, or more than a few in terms of law enforcement. At least one of his National Guard deployments was ruled unlawful, and probably quite a few people have been unlawfully deported too.

Ice deported boy with cancer and two other US citizen children to Honduras, suit alleges

Suit filed in Louisiana says agency didn’t give parents choice as to whether children should be deported with them

www.theguardian.com

A lawsuit filed in Louisiana on behalf of two mothers and their four minor children, including one with cancer, claims the two families were unlawfully denied due process and deported by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to Honduras in April 2025.

The lawsuit, which names the attorney general Pam Bondi, Department of Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem and various ICE officials as defendants, alleges ICE violated its own policies, and multiple federal laws, when officers secretly detained the families, denied access to counsel and swiftly deported them to Honduras, ignoring legal filings.

The claim, JLV v Acuna, filed by the National Immigration Project, says three of the children – a four-year-old boy with stage 4 kidney cancer, his seven-year-old sister and a two-year-old girl – were included in the deportation sweep despite being American citizens.

The parents 'were never given a choice as to whether their children should be deported with them, and were prohibited from contacting their counsel or having meaningful contact with their families to arrange for the care of their children' the lawsuit claims.

The mothers, pseudonymously named as Rosario and Julia, allege they wanted their children to remain in the US but the families were 'illegally deported without even a semblance of due process'.

Detention and deportation of American citizens in the second Trump administration - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

It was confirmed from official ICE records that US citizens were directly targeted and detained by Trump immigration officials.

On 11 July 2025, US District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong found roving immigration patrols were unlawful due to violating standards of reasonable suspicion of crimes, and that the Trump administration was criminally denying detained United States citizens access to required legal counsel. The Guardian found most cases and proceedings filed by Trump immigration officials against US citizens to be false and misleading, and many were dismissed. Many Trump immigration officials filed false and misleading official reports about citizens.

etc. etc.

You're in a thread rationalizing the deportation of someone who had been wrongly imprisoned for four decades. I say deport him, but let him sue and win a hundred million for the four decades America stole from him, and let him take it to a civilized country.

Fuck ICE, too. The bullshit propaganda from the right in service of enabling them to act as a heavily armed group that operates incognito is antithetical to democracy. The insanely skewed math they used to illustrate the increase in assaults proved how they know the right won't look closely at the numbers.

Just so you know (not that you'll care), the numbers are a raw percentage that ignores the increase in the size of ICE (it isn't a per capita percentage), the increase in ICE activity, the aggression ICE has been showing, and the lowered standard for "assault".

Maybe you should read the whole thread and see other posts , so you don’t look so foolish.

This is what I said , I wasn’t rationalizing deportation .

Stop being so emotional, because I hurt your feelings in another thread

A green card holder, with prior drug charges. The judge through out the case because certain evidence wasn't allowed during the hearing. He is a green card holder and subject to deportation. But for the amount of time he spent in jail, especially if he had an unfair trial, I think they could make an exception give him a new green card.

A sane person hears a story about ICE jumping on someone who had been wrongly locked up for forty years and says "that's fucked up".

You, on the other hand, think you're being reasonable for thinking MAYBE they could make an exception here.

Disgusting situation that should be roundly denounced, yet........

Man, step off the pedestal already. If you can't answer my question then don't quote me and fuck off.

 

[Seano]

He is not a US citizen. You can't (lawfully) be deported from a country you are a citizen of.

Sometimes it happens in error or I suppose sometimes maliciously.

You could have your citizenship revoked and then be deported but that is not what is happening in this case.

See, like this guy just gave an answer to the question I asked. Take note @Crazy Source , its not that hard to answer without virtue signaling.

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

He's not a US citizen, correct?

He's a legal resident of non deportable status. The legal action required to change that status was not taken

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

He's like the Jesus for all the immi's, he suffered the worst case scenario, his sacrifice made it that they would not be denied, but would have everlasting citizenship.

Hope he sues and gets paid

Oh yea a sane person says fuck ice like some old school emo punk teenager, fuck the police and fuck Nazis. Really deep introspection in your post. I never said the word maybe either . Maybe stop chasing me around replying o me for gotcha posts, it’s looking pathetic

It is not me on a pedestal. It is you sinking ever further down.

Two things should happen.

1. He should be able to sue the shit out of the U.S. Gov't and get paid.
2. He should be deported after his case is over. If he wants to stay, do it legally.

I'd let him stay until the case was settled. He got fucked over by our Gov't.

 

[DoctorTaco]

That doesn't answer my question. The OP says he had a green card and had "applied for citizenship at the time of his arrest" . Green cards expire, even those designated "permanent".

Two things should happen.

1. He should be able to sue the shit out of the U.S. Gov't and get paid.
2. He should be deported after his case is over. If he wants to stay, do it legally.

I'd let him stay until the case was settled. He got fucked over by our Gov't.

per the article:

his application for citizenship had been accepted, when he was arrested in 1982.”

Maybe if you engaged me like a human being you'd learn something.

Yes, I said "fuck ICE" and then I said why. I pointed out they're a heavily armed incognito force, and then I explained why the propaganda enabling their activity was a fantasy.

This is where you can learn something. Do the math yourself and find out how they reached the huge increases in assaults, the increases conservatives have been chirping about all along. Decide if that was a reasonable approach or if it sounds an awful lot like a lie.

Well... if he gets through the process, I'd let him stay.

Learn something about what ? Fuck ice … bold bro , very bold . How about back your dumb ass claims with stats …. You’re the worst because you pretend to have an intellectual conversation, but will not give an inch and double down on stupid. You deserve all the times you get shit on here.

Do you believe conservatives when they say assaults against ICE have increased 1000%?

I'm assuming you're familiar with the claim, and I'm asking you if you believe it.

I've already described why I do not.

I agree with you. That is what a fair and humane person would do.

Unfortunately, it seems the people running these programs are cruel and inhumane
