An 86-year-old French woman who moved to the US last year after rekindling a 1960s romance is being detained at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) centre in the state of Louisiana.
The son of Marie-Thérèse, from the city of Nantes, sounded the alarm after his mother was arrested in Anniston, Alabama, earlier in April.
“They handcuffed her hands and feet like she was a dangerous criminal,” he told French outlet Ouest-France.
If you have friends in the US you better reunite with them in free countries, not in fascist hell-holes.
I’m meeting my US friend in Amsterdam or somewhere in France this summer. I’m really glad because I still find it difficult to tell her that I have no interest in traveling to the US… even though Oregon must be beautiful.
Tell her. If she’s insisting that you visit this hellhole, then she needs to know that you feel unsafe. I live in Texas, and my family keeps talking about coming to visit me. I have to tell them that it’s a bad idea, and I explain, “don’t mistake my survival for your safety.” The fact that I haven’t been blasted in the face by ICE yet is not proof that Texas is alright; it’s just proof that I haven’t been blasted in the face by ICE. Yet.
Oregon might be beautiful, the trail there is rife with peril.
I’d like a Oregon trail with an ICE update.
People in ICE detention might actually die from dysentery again the way Trump goons are treating them.
