Undocumented immigrants with any type of criminal charges,
such as Juan Carlos Fomperosa García, are now a priority for
deportation under Trumps order

Juan Carlos Fomperosa García planned to celebrate his sons 17th birthday on Thursday. But first, he had to go in for a meeting around 9am with immigration officials in Phoenix for what he believed was to discuss his request for asylum.
He walked in. An hour later, they brought me a bag with his stuff and that was it, said Yennifer Sanchez, Fomperosa Garcías 23-year-old daughter.
The single father of three US citizens, who entered the country 20 years ago, was detained after meeting with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, but never came out, his daughter said, adding that she thought he was safe because he had a work permit.
By Friday morning, Fomperosa García had called his children to let them know he had been deported to Mexico.

In a statement, Ice confirmed Fomperosa García had been deported and that he had been previously repatriated to Mexico three times, including a formal deportation in 2014. Last year, he was again ordered removed by an immigration judge and in 2015 was convicted of a federal misdemeanor charge, according to Ice.

(60,010 posts)People have been picked up "off the street" on their way to church, or taking their kids to and from school.
Theoretically, a "criminal" charge makes them eligible for deportation, under Obama guidelines.
so the cops hand out misdemeanor charges if they can, and ta daaa...deportee.
Now Trump has given permission to basically take in anyone without proper papers.
Hispanic US citizens have been grabbed, cause citizens do not normally walk around with papers.
But they are gonna have to now, just to avoid a huge problem.
Deportees are taken to detention centers, no judge, no lawyer.
They are kept there until a big enough group is formed to fly them to Mexico.
and the detention centers are privatized, for profit.
is a neat racket for certain types of people, isn't it?
