Kansas City @midwest.social mautamu @midwest.social Kansas woman went to KC for a green card interview. Now, she faces deportation
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/28861747
Summary
When Rosmery Alvarado, 42, arrived in Kansas City on Wednesday with her husband and daughter to attend a spousal interview for her green card application, “everyone had a bad feeling.”
They had received unusual short notice for the interview and saw warning signs. 40 minutes later, Alvarado was on her way to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center.
“We didn’t get any kind of warning. They didn’t let us say goodbye.”
“My mom is not a criminal,” Carina Moran said. “She’s just my mom.” “She told us that she was scared and that she probably cried to herself throughout the whole night, that it was cold.”
