My Husband's Father was Deported Yesterday

[diadromous mermaid 36]

My FIL was NEVER given a document to sign. NOT THE ENTIRE TIME WAS HE GIVEN A DOCUMENT TO SIGN.

Was he asked if he wanted to sign something?

From what my father in law told us, one of the CBP officers scratched through his passport but since they took it and put it in the sealed envelope to give to the German officials, we never saw what was written.

Where is the passport now? What is written in it?

P.S. I feel (a perception of course) like I am pulling teeth to get the information

Allousa -

Try to sort out what happened to your FIL with his detention, etcetera from what precepitated his being held.

Because they are two separate matters legally. Your FIL may have been legally detained and returned. But there may have been abuse of power after the fact. These distinctions will be important later.

Wow....just wow!

What a way to kick someone when their down. Thanks alot.

Sorry. It's sure not intended to be that way.

Really? There have been repeeted attempts letting you and Diad know that all she needs right now is compassion and nothing more and yet you both keep going. I would say maybe its time you two left her alone. If she needs information, then she will start a thread asking for it.

In my last post, you said you didn't see Allousa objecting to anything being posted. Well she did, and no one is backing down yet. As she has already indicated SEVERAL times, she has an attorney.

Allousa - I really hope you don't feel the need to further justify your posts to those who want to question what happened. No one on this board was there and furthermore you have pages and pages of people who are supporting you and are just as outraged by the events that took place as you and your family

[rebeccajo 14]

I give up.

JP and all the 'supportive' posters have all the information needed to help allousa successfully answer the questions churning in her mind.

No need to 'justify posts' when the lemmings are afoot.

Oh, btw, JP - 'thank you' would have been nice.

i really don't think allousa was asking for advice when she posted this thread .. I think she was just wanting a compassionate ear..

she has a lawyer who has more then likely informed her of everything she needs to know...

I can say, and it doesn't happen often, but I am speechless at the callous disregard and disrespect of members that are willing to HELP.

The last post Allousa made, she asked questions. Are we not entitled to answer? And in point of fact, if she trully intends to see this matter through, compassion will get her nowhere. If she wants to fight this, she needs to arm herself with facts (which she is sadly devoid of, at this time) and knowledge.

The links Rebbecajo gave to her, which she has not yet looked at (God knows, I would have researched everything by day 3), are a good start, as is TRIP, but from my pespective those offerings that are proactive and helpful are being set aside for what appears to be more wallowing in melodrama.

That is what you don't seem to get...no one is trying to answer her questions or provide her with information. We are just listening to her and providing support.

Also, I am completely confused as to what I need to thank you for.

Well not everyone is the same. I know that I would want information, and would appreciate any offered. However, that's apparently not what the OP was after.

I think it's great to know that you don't have to sugar coat in order to get a point across, but that's me.

Agree to disagree, that's the only option here.

To Rebecca and Diad, you're very knowledgable people and I know if I need anything, who to ask.

To the OP, I hope things work out for you and your family and you can get this figured out.

I can't even believe that you think its your place to decide when she should look at those links. Who really cares what you would have done and by when, I think its been made very clear that SHE HAS AN ATTORNEY. Btw there was no drama on this thread until you started posting. Before that it was just 10 pages of people offering their support and compassion for what her and her family have been through.

don't we all realize that she is prolly still in shock from what happened?? i know I would be... I think she can be excused for not saying thank you etc...
