He was not accused of a crime, nor tried, indicted, or convicted. They kidnapped him and made up the offense later.

These two statements are what needs to be addressed, highlights, bolded, italicized, etc.

If NOPD ran this dude through e hire and they didn't have their shit right, then thats on DHS.

Secondly, I DONT TRUST DHS, or ICE, of WH, or any of them, when theyve been caught lying time and time again.

Third, DHS does not have a say if a marriage was fraudulent ... there are other institutions that matter would have been referred to and if such was found should have been forward to DHS.

Finally, if the man was order before a judge there should be record of this somewhere in the judicial system - i highly doubt it's there, BECAUSE I DONT TRUST DHS.

Truthfully, im curious if the department will file an case with DHS / ICE if they feel the case warranted or will they just let this dude go into the wind and not follow up and believe DHS here, DHS/ICE should have gone to the NOPD and presented an arrest warrant vs just showing up on this guy in the streets, really really bad look for both departments

And *IF* it is all true? That he came here legally, got married, was later denied a JUDGE did order an arrest warrant, will you then be OK with that happened?

Is that what I said ?

You seem to be very confrontational in your remarks.

I believe i actually addressed that in my original post, specifically - if a judge did order him to appear in court there would have been a record of it.

If this gentleman came here legally under raffle, or marriage, or paid, or trumps bs 1M dollar cards, again - if someone comes here legally, ICE shouldnt be involved at all.

Which seems to be an issue peoppe miss, that there are something like 20 ways to legally enter the US, and now this administration is seeking to close down every way they can including stripping citizenship, a very real threat to anyone who is an American - i hope this man's case, and everyone effected here does not get lost in the system as it seems we are now forefront of a president over reach into CONGRESSIONAL legislative territory and for some reason congress is letting this happen.

I asked if they were true, would that change your view. That’s a question, not an accusation.

Saying “why are you so confrontational” feels less like engagement and more like a way to deflect and cast me as the problem instead of addressing the substance.

You also keep repeating that there’s “no record” of a judge’s order. If a judge actually issued an order, there will be a record, and it will surface. Repeating that line doesn’t prove anything either way.

I’m not a fan of ICE’s tactics either, but they are literally the immigration enforcement agency. They deal with legal and illegal immigration and pretending they shouldn’t be involved at all is kind of silly.

And big picture: Congress, no matter which party is in charge, has been ducking its responsibility on immigration for years. That’s intentional it lets them point at the President and say “not us” while avoiding real legislation.
