Marine Corps veteran Adrian Clouatre doesn’t know how to tell his children where their mother went after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers detained her last month.
When his nearly 2-year-old son Noah asks for his mother before bed, Clouatre just tells him, “Mama will be back soon.” When his 3-month-old, breastfeeding daughter Lyn is hungry, he gives her a bottle of baby formula instead. He’s worried how his newborn will bond with her mother absent skin-to-skin contact.
His wife, Paola, is one of tens of thousands of people in custody and facing deportation as the Trump administration pushes for immigration officers to arrest 3,000 people a day.
They aren’t looking for reasons to help people, just reasons to deport, no matter how thin.
I have friends who are naturalized citizens, often for decades, and all say they aren’t worried, but I am. These people don’t even respect Birthright Citizenship, which guaranteed in the Constitution, they certainly aren’t going to respect naturalized citizens. I’ve heard reports that they are combing through everyone’s files, looking for any discrepancy, and if they find ANYTHING, they’ll lose their citizenship or green card.
Bottom line: If you are from somewhere else, they want you out.
