American women's PR husband deported to Pakistan

[Meriem_DZ 37]

I found this blog yesterday. It is so sad that something like this could happen. Her husband of 7 years that had been in the US legally for twenty something years (has a GC) was arrested by ice, threatened, tortured, and deported. The woman's father had contacted immigration and told them that the husband had ties to terrorism. The father was angry because his daughter reverted to Islam. What is sad is they had 2 little children at the time.

Its crazy that ICE would deport him if he did nothing wrong. Why wouldnt the system be better than that and make SURE they had the right man.

I dont understand it either. They try to explain it in one of the videos. They threatened to send him to Gitmo. They also tassered him at some point. He had not been to Paki since he came to the US as a student 20 something years ago. But after the abuse he begged to be sent back to Paki and they did.

Hopefully this type of behavior of the govt improves without Bush as President. Despite what anybody think about Bush, treatment of Muslims in this country has gone into the toilet by the govt. Most ppl here haven't changed too much (there are exceptions), but the govt actions in dealing with Muslims (esp Pakastain, and the ME) has really changed.

unfortunately, it also seems to be a rant about bush.

I do think terrorism does need to be sought out and punished, but it is highly possible that this is a wrong man mistaken and deported. If this is true, then my heart goes out to their family. Crime, terrorism, theft, fraud... all of it needs to be cracked down on more, but at the same time do it right!

I don't know if you recall how ICE treated my father-in-law. They held us for several hours with no reason why and denied my father-in-law entry that to this day we do not know the reason why he was denied.

At the very bottom page of her blog, she talks about the track back, I think that is what it's called, Anyway, she noticed that someone from the Dept of Homeland security was reading their blog. She didnt know if she should be happy or scared. She also saw that her congressmans office was reading the blog, so maybe they can get some help.

Dear Meriem,

thank you for posting our blog on this site..we are the family ... Please do feel free to ask us anything about our situation.

we have a number of vidoes now on Youtube under the same ID..

Yes, I was Arrested .. and tortured by ICE WITHOUT any reason and in the end I asked to be sent back to Pakistan where I had not been in over 25 years..

I do not know anyone here and for the past 3 years it has been close to hell!

Someone here mentioned that Pakistan would be the same after that long.. unfortunately that is not the case.

Since I have been here I have gone thru one MOCK EXECUTION and Rose has been threatened to be kidnapped by a Minister here.

We had no options left other than to get Rose and the Kids here and somehow make it here.

After Obama came to office we deicided to talk about our story initially on YouTube in case we can get the Medias attention but till now nothing has happened.

Someone else has called it a "RANT" againt Bush.. yes! it can be considered a rant!! After days of Torture due to BUSH approved policies.. I do have every right to place the blame where it belongs.

Please ask us any questions you might have.. and if you can help in anyway (best being getting the word out) please do.

A lot of people we have met on line have checked our story out and have decided to support and help us in recent days.

please contact us on the same ID on Yahoo we are here quite often to answer any questions. We can also cam / talk on skype.

Regards and thank you

Hasan (and Rose)

Meriem,

Yes DHS spent a lot of time on the website.. and it was scary as hell but till now nothing has happened from their end.

Someone from the CAPITOL came and spend a lot of time as well but they have not returned or contacted us about anything.

Recently, somone from the St. Louis Chapter of the Red Cross has spent almost 10 hours total on our blog as well as a supporting blogs.. but they have not contacted us either.

We use Statcounter to let us know what has visited our blog.

Regards

Salam Hasan and Rose.

You are very welcome, glad that I could help. I have not stopped thinking about your family since I read your blog and watched the videos. What is more terrifying is that it could very well happen to any of us that have a Muslim spouse. That is why I posted it here. I hope and pray that you find a resolution to your nightmare.

Take care,

Meriem
