I’m curious to know if he had applied for refugee status or was in the process somehow. It feels like they’re going after people who are trying to follow the process.
My feeling, which is all I can base this on, is that they want the folks who aren’t following the process because they don’t have to pay them as much. If someone is following the process they have to pay minimum wage. If someone hops the fence they get paid less, under the table, no benefits, and with the threat of ICE if they aren’t working themselves to death.
My question is because the news is consistently reporting on people who are following the process being detained. And your feeling doesn’t even match the fake claim, which is that they’re “going after criminals.” Which the numbers show they aren’t. So I’m really wondering if they’re going after low hanging fruit since the reality is that Trump is actually deporting roughly the same amount of people Biden did.

Most recent in my state was a business owner who had been here for decades but only just now started the immigration process under Biden just got taken. They cited a DUI, but the county DA said there’s no record of that.
