Officials at airport attempted to coerce her into signing papers relinquishing her permanent status

[kpete]

Farmad and her family had traveled to Iran last month to visit
relatives and her husband, Masoud Samet, had returned home without
incident on Jan. 6. She stayed with other family members to attend a
wedding.

When the group arrived Saturday, her brother, a U.S. citizen, was
immediately allowed back in. She and her mother and her son were held.

"They are OK, but they are very tired and the situation was unexpected and very horrible," said her husband.

Attorneys who filed legal action demanding Farmad's release accused
officials at the airport of attempting to coerce her into signing papers relinquishing her permanent resident status.

Farmad, who has lived in the United States for five years, is scheduled to take her oath of citizenship on Feb. 13.

3. How has Trump already managed to staff ICE or the TSA or whoever is pulling this shit

with these authoritarian douchebags? Or have they always been like that, and now finally have the opportunity to exercise their authoritarian assholery the way they've always wanted?

6. I think the later

In a place like the CBP there are always being assholes who relinquish at the opportunity to harass people and use their powers whenever they can. Same thing in the police force. What Trump has done is allowed these people to come out and do it blatently .

nationalists can go to hell. They hate liberalism. This is all Bannon wants the US to collapse, and Putin will be watching the US fall.

5. ICE has been doing this to others

for awhile. Lots of people I know who have been through Stewart and other detention centers report that officials try to get them to sign papers relinquishing their rights.
