I hear you, ICE appears to be claiming that his visa expired two years earlier. Do you find it curious that the university is claiming otherwise?
I wasn't able to access this article, but the university is maintaining that Dr. Kibret does have a valid work visa:
The source in this case is:
https://www.wbaltv.com/article/umb-instructor-detained-dallas-airport-berhanu-kibret/73320288
But I'm hoping the referenced article also cites the university's claim. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Given this man's excellent scientific background, credentials, and that he's the recipient of this prestigious award, one can understand how the pedophile fascists like to shoot themselves in the foot multiple times. Though I suppose, this is just one example of so many.
Never occurred to you that ICE, a criminal organization that commits murders on the street and has been shown to be incompetent and make mistakes constantly, could be the source of the fuck up? That never crossed your mind? You just have that much faith in them huh?
What a complete douche. Shut up
I don't think you have the right attitude toward the human element of these cases even on a charitable read of your comment. Have you ever been wrongly imprisoned? Do you think being wrongly imprisoned, even if you are ultimately released, would have no psychological or social effect on you as a person? As someone who has lived as a white person in the US and as a minority elsewhere, I assure you, being treated with suspicion until proven otherwise is not anywhere close to as innocuous as you seem to think.
Even if his visa is expired (which the school he works at says is not true), why would he need to be sent to a for-profit concentration camp? Couldn't he face the deportation process from home?
"concentration camp" Jesus you people are insane...
No, y’all are for thinking immigrants are the real problem for your complete inability to get ahead.
It’s a combination of capitalism and you people tend to be stupid as fuck all.
Concentration camp as defined on Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_camp
Moreover, it appears that ICE holds approximately 65,765 people in detention. Most of them have no criminal convictions. To say nothing about the mistreatment and abuse that they face - without due process. Some of them have died.
What the Trump/Miller administration and ICE are doing is beyond horrible. There is no excuse for this.
This most certainly qualifies as the use of concentration camps and you are dismissing it with a casual, "Jesus you people are insane" comment while tens of thousands are suffering.
Except they are. Concentration camps didn’t start out murdering everyone, although the ones ICE are running are killing people.
Your user name fits your fascist attitude.
Nah they won't cause we're gonna win. We've done it before and we can do it again. Fascism will be defeated.
This has to be a troll. No one is this fucking stupid, lol.
Holy shit, there's no way you're actually this dumb haha. You're definitely a troll.
So now you can add being wrong about star wars to all the other things you are wrong about.
ok bub.
Fuck off
