What do they say on social media nowadays... "It begins"?

 

As with anything official or important, relying on phone calls is a bad idea... Always, always use written communication.

But where is the outcry against this blatant injustice? Where is the outrage? Where is the wall-to-wall media covera … 🤐

 

It's not Trump so it doesn’t matter.

21 years?  The USC father can file the I130s for IR1/IR2s, that should be faster than 21 years.

You're right I missed the fact the father of kids was US citizen and spouse of immigrant who got deported.

i don't see the us government letting her back into the usa so she can jump through the legal hoops to stay.  i suspect she'll have an extended stay
in mexico while the paperwork takes a slow boat to china...

The tile of this article is so misleading. ICE did not in fact deport or put the two newborn twins on the plane to Mexico, the woman decided to do that. 

 

If the USC father wanted to keep his family together so bad than why didn't he go with them? 

 

Hypothetically, if  something like this were to happen with my husband, I'd go with him without even having to think about it.

A more accurate account of events that can quickly be summarized in a few sentences: 

 

Mom entered the states  illegally over the summer, was caught and put in the alternates to detention program. 

 

She had an emergency c-section on September 13. Her appointment was for October 9th.

 

She was at home on doctor ordered  bed rest the day of her appointment. 

 

 

Her other 2 children are Mexico nationals with the younger of the two belonging to the USC spouse. The deportation orders were only for her.  

 

Instead of her and her husband going through the legal process of obtaining an IR1 greencard, she thought it would be a great idea to try to sneak in the country and give birth here instead of in Mexico.  She probably didn't think they would kick her out of the country if she gave birth on our soil to American babies. 

 

Attending an immigration hearing isn't a physically challenging task so there really isn't a good or reason for her to of missed it.

 

This lady and her husband just sound entitled, thinking the laws don't apply to them. 

 

According to a different news source, the woman was already not complying with the terms of the alternates to detention program before missing her hearing and having an deportation order placed upon her.

I particularly love how the words "unexpectedly arrested" are used. Like seriously, it's kinda of a given that if you break the law, you typically get arrested for it. 

 

 

 

I don't feel bad for her or her family one bit. Sorry, not sorry.
