US Raids Airports, Arrests Woman With Valid Work Permit
While Newsweek frames this as a straightforward report, the underlying story is one of targeted enforcement undermining legitimate immigration processes. A woman granted a work permit by the US government was then arrested by another arm of the US government. This isn't about 'illegal immigration'; it's about the state actively invalidating its own approvals, creating a climate of fear even for
those ostensibly playing by the rules. It appears the gears of bureaucracy grind selectively. This kind of selective enforcement—where permits are granted only to be later ignored—shows a system designed for maximum disruption, not rational governance. One might wonder if the 'rule of law' applies equally when the goal shifts from processing applications to hitting arbitrary arrest quotas. How
many more valid permits will simply be rendered meaningless by an airport raid?
