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.

I dont think the Trumpanzees are concerned with throwing away the key. They want to throw away any record of them having existed at all.

Please someone tell me now that I shouldn't be terrified every time she goes to work that these ICE Freikorps won't pick her up by snatching her off the street even though she has a valid green card with nine years left on the validity.
I said this will happen and it is. We are now Germany in 1934. I wonder when the Night of Long Knives will happen, since the Big Beautiful Bill was The Enabling Act.
