    I don’t know that this actually fits the community - this is about a foreign national, who had some old charges he hadn’t dealt with for whatever reason (one of which dates back to high school, when he was technically still a juvenile), and took ICE/CBP at their word, and evidently didn’t realize they are 100% lying. Lots of people don’t keep close tabs on what our shitshow of a country is up to at this exact moment.

    This sounds a lot more like being in the wrong place at the wrong time while being somewhat oblivious/uninformed.

      this is about a foreign national

      He also has a US green card, so that should’ve made ICE fuck right off.

      Although, any people who have a very large right not to be deported using up ICE resources is a good thing as they can fight against the charges easier It also makes their family and friends more likely not to blindly suck up trumpaganda.

        Speaking as a green card holder (who, by definition, went through the immigration process), I’m wondering if they’re alleging that he lied on his application.

        It was a long time ago when I filled it out, but I do remember that there were a lot of questions about whether you’ve ever been convicted of or even charged with a crime.
