Maybe you could sell his luguage and give the proceeds to the taxpayer to compensate for the cost of his flight out of the USA....

Deportation is not something taken likely. If, after all the proceedings, they were in a hurry to get him out of here for whatever national security reason, it's no accident. Don't they blow things up in and around Yemen? And no...his luggage is not anyone else's problem.

It is not only about the money, I will pay if I have to but I just want to let these people know this is not how they are supposed to treat people and make everything harder for us.

What should I do complain? To who?

Any advice anyone??

zira,

No offense intended but your beloved was unlawfully present. I know it is difficult to swallow, but his asylum case was denied more than 5 months and he knew that he was here on borrowed time. I am curious that you were thinking he would be released? Frankly, I am surprised they detained him so long

It has been 43 days already and nobody gives any information on how long they might keep him there. What takes so long??

Other than sending him the money as Reeses suggests, the only other thing I can think of is to bring them with you when you visit. You can check with the airline with regard to baggage allowance and overages costs.

I was thinking the same thing to bring the lugguage with you when you visit, but either way I am so sorry to hear of your situation

I have to pay for their stupidity??

The situation was the result of illegal presence in the U.S., not stupidity by ICE.

He was not here illegaly. He had a pending asylum aplication for 8 years. When it got denied, he was put in jail. You are not considered illegal while you have a pending case.

Thank you very much for your very informed advice!!

I did not think he would be released. I was waiting for him to be deported (better than being kept in jail). I just did not think jail time was necessary, not only for him, but for anyone who has a pending or denied asylum case. They should have deported him without jail.

You seem to be missing the "deported" in the subject line. The passenger didn't make his own flight arrangements. Somebody with a gun and badge escorted him to a flight the authorities arranged for him. This is not an airline issue.

Usually good practice to pay your own way in such circumstances.

Complaining about luggage when you have been flown out at the public expense would be taking the piss big time.

As a practical matter he didn't have the option to make his own arrangements. The arrest and deportation were unexpected though perhaps fully justified.

Just looked back at the OP's prior posts, was refused Assylum a long time ago, could have left under own steam.

No, could not have left a long time ago, since his passport was also taken from him when he appealed the first decision and reapplied. His passport was never given back to him even though he asked for it and said he wanted to leave the USA a long time ago.
