shyt is real out here. They deported my cousin who has an American wife and two American kids. He had a 10 year old DUI case so he had to keep in touch with ICE periodically. He did that throughout most of Obama's administration with no problems. Soon as 45 got in office, he went to ICE to check in like he had for years, and they arrested him.
They said he was a criminal due to the DUI and he was out of status and therefore wasn't eligible for citizenship through his wife.
shyt was fukked up. Luckily, the community came together and raised money to help him and his family resettle in Kenya.
I can imagine if how much more terrible it would be if you didn't have a community to support you.
