I'm not from the US, so I'm mega confused... Why are they allowed to take this person after the case was dismissed?
If this is the same thing I'm thinking of, the case was to be allowed to immigrate in the US. It was dismissed, so they were no longer legally in the country.
It's rancid bullshit that they were instantly detained, of course, but** there is a logic to it.
I'm skeptical. There are documented cases where ICE abducts people literally on their way to be sworn in as US citizens and deports them. Despite what they say, they don't care about people immigrating here legally, it's all about racism.
You have a source on that one?
