    … legal citizen, …

    Legal status. Which I am sure they’re talking about revoking because she’s been “charged with a crime.”

    That is the plan. Even for people who are in the US legally, just charge them with a crime, and that legal status can be pulled and they can be deported. Maybe even to Gitmo in the near future.

    ICE is Gestapo.

      Key fact:

      “It’s unusual for (ICE) to pick up an individual with legal status and not convicted of a crime. That usually doesn’t happen.”

      Emphasis mine.

      Edit: This is intended to reinforce your point for those who don’t read the article.

        … “usually doesn’t happen.”

        The irony of the use of the qualifier “usually” is not lost on me.
