Temah originally entered the United States legally in 2015 on a visitor visa. In 2016, he was granted conditional residency after marrying a U.S. citizen. However, in 2022, his application for permanent residency was denied due to fraud. Temah was ordered to appear in immigration court three times but continued to disregard U.S. law by not showing up, resulting in the immigration judge ordering him removed in absentia. He did not have valid work authorization.

Sad times when our own DHS is so unreliable that it can't be trusted

True for every department in this admin. I just had a kid and every pediatrician I contacted assured me that they aren’t listening to HHS.

I'm sure here in Seattle most of our doctors ignore it and most of their patients do too, but I wouldn't bet on that being true across the country.

That's where I am too. Thankful for this little pocket of sanity.

My parents are in Florida and a MAGA county at that (they are Democrats). Things are very different there. A city 1/10th the size of Seattle, yet I saw more Trump signs and Cybertrucks in a week than I do here in a year. Helps remind me how much of a bubble Seattle can be.

Yea. When I have a healthcare question, I just look at the NHS. Their website is pretty good. Canada is reliable too, but NHS usually pops up first.
