My husband and I know this man. My husband taught his kids. He's an incredible sweet guy. He is in the country legally- he pays taxes, he's married to a US Citizen, he has no criminal record and now he's in ICE detention. For those who thought "it can't happen here" it is happening here. #FreeKarim https://www.instagram.com/p/DHzAZhxJHcF/?img_index=1
from that insta post. "Karim was detained after an appointment to pick up documents to fulfill his work authorization requirement and to remain in the United States as he has since he has been in this country. When he arrived at the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program office, he was informed that there had been a mistake and he had to go to ICE. Once at the Newark ICE facility, Karim was apprehended. He had gone there willingly under the pretense of clearing up a “mistake”. Let that sink in."
@OldAndCranky That's terrible, I'm so sorry that happened. I hope his case will be resolved in his favor & his family is safe.
@OldAndCranky this is disgusting. Deplorable actions taken by ICE at the behest of Trump. A horrible situation.
Honestly, Sue, that was my first thought. Bonesaws are next. Convicted felon President Donald Trump is a mobster.
@mckra1g @OldAndCranky He's not brave enough to be a mobster, Molly. Nor loyal enough.
@mckra1g @OldAndCranky
But certainly, those people surround him. Because he can be bought.
@OldAndCranky regarding "can't happen here", I can think only of Israel as being another country that treats visitors so badly. If it could happen somewhere, these are the two countries that have taught law enforcement that their citizens are more worthy of other people. Not something new, even if now it gets worse.
@OldAndCranky Only the intentionally non-observant, unaware would think evil does not lurk and thrive here.
This is horrifying. I freaked out a little when I saw the picture because he looks a LOT like my neighbor, a second generation Mexican-American. Everytime any of them leave their house, I cringe, hoping they'll come back again.
@OldAndCranky This is horrendous! I hope Karim -- and everyone else that's been snatched up -- is freed as quickly as possible, and that those responsible are thrown in prison themselves!
@OldAndCranky Despicable, what's happening there. I hope the best for the speedy release of your friend.
@OldAndCranky
But But But But The MAGAs told us over and over they were only against *illegal* immigration. I don't understand. Were they just Nazi pigs all along?
@Asbestos Surprise, surprise. (narrator: not everyone was surprised).
Well, if it wallows in muck and snorts like one...
@OldAndCranky Maybe start screaming at high volume while nose to nose at your republican friends and acquaintances about this?
Maybe do the same at those from whom you buy your groceries if they ever contributed to the GOP?
Maybe start making them feel as uncomfortable as they clearly make you feel?
@mossyrua I don't have any republican friends and acquaintances! We're doing a lot of screaming at rallies etc.
It is here so bad and hard ...
@OldAndCranky the leader of the Australian conservatives sounds like he wants emulate this atrocity in Australia.

@OldAndCranky How did it happen and why did people let it happen?
@OldAndCranky Oh I think I see now. ICE is taking all the low hanging fruit. They’re culling out anyone they can to meet their quota. They don’t care if you have a green card. They don’t care if you have a court date. If this appears to be happening to you - make an excuse and set a time in the near future, then call your attorney. DONT GO TO ICE WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY!! Maybe even ask someone from the press to join you. Make it hard for them. But do it legally. #ICE
@OldAndCranky of course it’s terrible when it’s someone you know and love, but this shouldn’t even happen to some punk kid with a record of petty crimes
@dgodon indeed. It should happen to no one.
@OldAndCranky This is very sad. My heart goes out to his family. 
@OldAndCranky It's sickening. When does the revolution start?
@OldAndCranky "Anti-immigrant" is nothing more than bigotry.
