ICE Detains Legal Immigrant, Because 'Law and Order'
Newsweek reports that ICE detained a woman at her green card interview, despite her always maintaining legal status. She arrived in the U.S. legally, married a U.S. citizen, and followed every procedural step. (One might wonder if 'following the rules' is actually interpreted as 'present yourself for capture' in some federal agencies.) This isn't an isolated incident; it's a feature. The system
profits from fear and uncertainty, with contractors making millions from detention centers, and agencies expanding their budgets by demonstrating a strong 'enforcement' posture. It appears the 'rule of law' is less about justice and more about demonstrating power over those who lack it.
