(9,018 posts)2. Update: It turns out it's an ICE tactic to bait the rest of the family.
They kept her overnight to bait the family to come in so they could detain them for no reason at all.
The reporting said this is what is done in other authoritarian regimes.
She and her family, are all here legally. They are refugees and have been fully vetted and not criminals.
So sorry this happened to you!

(10,833 posts)4. Well, my question was to everyone living in Minnesota, to be honest.
I do not know the family personally. I am very glad that they did not fall for it.
I am very angry that the regime did this. VERY angry.
