Here's another ICE story the MAGA world can be proud of. Luis Leon is an 82 year legal immigrant (green card holder) who has lived in the United States for nearly 40 years. He doesn't have so much as a parking ticket on his record. He has cleaner record than most of us.
His one "mistake" was losing his wallet with his green card in it. Doing the right thing, he made an appointment with the nearest immigration office to have it replaced. On June 20th he arrived at the immigration office as scheduled. Instead ICE officials led the 82 year old away in handcuffs with no explanation.
With that Luis Leon was disappeared by the Trump Regime. His family could not find out anything about him, to include where he had been taken. His name did not appear on the database of ICE detainees. Calls by his family to prisons, immigration officials, even hospitals got no answers.
But Luis Leon was in ICE custody. ICE first disappeared him to a detention center in Minnesota and then shipped him off to Guatemala with no due process, and no notice to his family. 82 years old and suffering from a variety of ailments, including diabetes and a heart condition, Leon ended up in a Guatemalan hospital which is who contacted the family.
Until then the family believed he was dead, having died in ICE custody as a lawyer told them.
What is ICE's explanation for this? As yet there has been none.
Who knows how many more stories like this are out there?
If only MAGAs could see what their government is hatefully doing to real and decent people.
