Purple Heart Army veteran self-deports after nearly 50 years in the U.S.

For 55-year-old U.S. Army veteran Sae Joon Park, this was the hardest moment of his life. Not getting shot in combat. Not the years battling post-traumatic stress disorder or addiction. Not prison. It was leaving the U.S., a country he called home for nearly five decades.

On Monday, Park, a green-card holder, self-deported to South Korea. His removal order was the result of charges related to drug possession and failure to appear in court from over 15 years ago — offenses that, he said, stemmed from years of untreated PTSD.

Park's story reflects both the challenges of life after combat and the perils that noncitizen veterans face if caught in the legal system — realities made harsher amid the Trump administration's push for record deportations.

" I can't believe that this is happening in America," Park told NPR in an interview prior to his departure. "That blows me away, like a country that I fought for."

Six year old with leukemiua at immigration court? ICE ICE BABY!

https://www.tpr.org/border-immigration/2025-06-25/ice-arrested-a-6-year-old-boy-with-leukemia-at-immigration-court-his-family-is-suing

A Honduran mother and her two children — ages 6 and 9 — have sued the Trump administration over their arrest at Los Angeles Immigration Court, the first lawsuit challenging the arrests of children under a new ICE directive targeting courthouses.

The mother brought her two children to the immigration court on May 29 expecting to continue to make a case for asylum after fleeing Honduras due to threats of violence. But like many other immigrants across the country, they were surprised to see their case quickly dismissed as ICE agents waited for them to step out of the courthouse into the hallway.

"There were men waiting for them in civilian clothing. The men [ICE agents] detained the family for many hours, and it was a terrifying time for the two children and their mother," said Elora Mukherjee, director of the Immigrant Rights Clinic at Columbia Law School.

"They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying," Mukherjee said. "The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."

The family was then transported to the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas, where they have been detained for several weeks.

The 6-year-old boy has been diagnosed with leukemia and has missed a medical appointment to be treated for worsening symptoms, according to the lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court in San Antonio by the Immigrant Rights Clinic and The Texas Civil Rights Project.

Republicans Ask Donald Trump to Revoke Zohran Mamdani's Citizenship - Newsweek

Quote

The New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) has called on the federal government to strip Zohran Mamdani of his citizenship and deport him.

On Tuesday evening, Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist, declared victory over Andrew Cuomo, former governor of the state of New York, in the Democratic primary for the 2025 New York mayoral election.

This was completely foreseeable when we decided to let MASKED "agents" run around and arrest people without showing ID.

 

He will likely get pardoned if he says nice things about Trump.

Wouldn’t being accosted by a masked man who won’t identify themselves be a legit stand your ground defense?

Could be a robber, ICE, kidnapper. Shoot first, ask later. It’s the Republican way

Oh the glee of the thought that the desperately poor who would do the unthinkable in Nancy's lotto circumstances- risk their and their families lives moving to another country to do the dirty jobs that Huckabee wants to hand off to kids cuz no American adult with a choice chooses to do it- eaten by alligators.

Is it cartoonish enough for you yet, and if not now, when?

They are dead-ass saying that they're gonna feed alligators "65 million meals" at this facility.

...

The US Latino population is around 65 million people. 

Because....and follow me here.....they have deemed all 65 million of us as undesirables, not real Americans, etc.  And they've ALREADY said that dirty illegals and whatnot are not entitled to due process, the right of habeas corpus, etc.

I really don't know what it's going to take to wake enough people up to the fact that the government of the United States is declaring war on each and every hispanic living in this country.  Any difference between their approach to hispanics and the German approach to jews in the 1930s is rapidly evaporating.  And we will be told we are being hysterical, it's no big deal, blah blah blah, right up to...and through....this:

majdanek?_a=BAVAZGDX0

Remember, they told you it was just about "getting rid of violent criminals."  That was a lie (they are rounding up a shitload of nonviolent, hardworking folks).

Then they told you it was just about getting rid of "illegal immigrants."  That was a lie (they've revoked legal status for hundreds of thousands, and are terminating the status daily of many others).

They told you it was just about immigrants.  That was a lie ("65 million" is a hard mathematical fact that tells you it's not just about immigrants - it's about every last one of us American hispanics).

Next, they'll tell you it's just about incarcerating us.  That will be a lie, too.

72-3229.tif.jpg?itok=qoNMoqqV

What would you have done when the nazis were coming for your jewish neighbors, to round them up and get them out of society, and dispose of them....by any means necessary?  It's what you're doing right now.

Their use of the number 65 million tells you that nothing I've said above -- not a single word of it -- is hyperbole.  The intend to exterminate us from American society, completely and totally.

Despite his pending asylum claim – a legal avenue protecting persecuted refugees – and despite his compliance with immigration authorities, he was detained. Leite da Silva said that the officer admitted her client hadn’t violated any laws and that the officer wasn’t aware of any particular reason for the detention.

I love how this thread is all about pulling out stories about people in bad spots that shouldn’t be deported. 
 

I don’t remember any threads about years of unfettered immigration and the consequences like human trafficking or high speed chases etc. Or airports full of people being flown in our dime sleeping in gray sweats on the floors of our airports for YEARS. Higher housing costs. Higher healthcare costs. Higher auto insurance etc for everyone. 
 

Y'all aren’t serious. Ask almost anyone from the border or close to it what they think. It should be shut down. And we should be kicking people out.  Some people that deserve to stay might have to leave. But there have been some citizens here hurt directly for no reason by open border bs. And there have been plenty of indirect effects to others.

you’re mad that people who “should” get to stay are kicked out? Blame the ones that went balls to the wall and let anybody in. 

I guarangoddamtee whatever cost of living increase impact supposedly caused by these ‘subhuman mongrels’ on the average us citizen is far outweighed by the cheaper labor impact on just housing/construction costs and food alone.

Whoops!

The family of a Canadian national who supported Donald Trump’s plans for mass deportations of immigrants say they are feeling betrayed after federal agents recently detained the woman in California while she interviewed for permanent US residency – and began working to expel her from the country.

“We feel totally blindsided,” Cynthia Olivera’s husband – US citizen and self-identified Trump voter Francisco Olivera – told the California news station KGTV. “I want my vote back.”

Cynthia Olivera, a 45-year-old mother of three US-born children, thus joined a growing list of examples contradicting the Trump administration’s claims that the immigration crackdown it has spearheaded since the president’s return to the Oval Office in January has prioritized targeting dangerous criminals.

Being in the US without legal status is generally a civil infraction rather than a criminal violation. Nonetheless, despite its claim that the immigration crackdown is mainly meant to rid the US of violent criminals, the White House has maintained that anyone in the US who lacks legal status is a criminal subject to deportation

Olivera was unwittingly thrust under the weight of those policies after Trump spent his successful 2024 presidential campaign promising to pursue them, earning her husband’s vote along the way, according to what he told KGTV. She was just 10 when her parents brought her to the US from Toronto without permission, she said to the station.

By 1999, when she was about 19, US immigration officials at the Buffalo border crossing had determined Olivera was living in the country without legal status and obtained an expedited order to deport her. But, after being deported, she was able to return to the US by driving to San Diego from Mexico within a few months.


“They didn’t ask me for my citizenship – they didn’t do nothing,” Olivera would later say to KGTV. “They just waved me in.”

She recounted spending the next 25 years working in Los Angeles, paying taxes and providing for her family. KGTV reported that its investigative team scoured California and federal court databases, but the unit found no criminal charges under Cynthia Oliver’s name.

In 2024, toward the end of his presidency, Joe Biden’s administration granted her a permit allowing her to work legally in the US. She had also been navigating the process to obtain legal permanent US residency – colloquially referred to as a green card – for years.

Nonetheless, instead of supporting the candidate Biden endorsed to succeed him, then vice-president Kamala Harris, Olivera’s husband supported Trump in November’s White House election. He told KGTV that Trump’s promises to deport criminals en masse appealed to both him and Cynthia. And, echoing other mixed immigration status families who have had members affected by Trump’s policies, the Oliveras did not believe she would be hurt by her lack of legal US residency.

They learned she would in fact be affected by her immigration status when she went for a green card interview in Chatsworth, California, on 13 June. She was detained there by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents, according to a change.org petition pleading for compassion on behalf of Cynthia.


Olivera has since been transferred to an Ice detention center in El Paso, Texas, to await being deported.

Speaking to KGTV over a video call from the El Paso facility, Olivera suggested her treatment was undeserved.

 “The US is my country,” Olivera remarked to the station in an interview published on 3 July. “That’s where I met my husband. That’s where I went to high school, junior high, elementary [school]. That’s where I had my kids.”

But the Trump administration had little sympathy for Olivera, despite her husband’s support of the president, with a spokesperson saying in a statement that Cynthia was “an illegal alien from Canada”.

Olivera had been “previously deported and chose to ignore our law and again illegally entered the country”, said the spokesperson’s statement, as reported by Newsweek. The statement noted that re-entering the US without permission after being deported is a felony, and it said Olivera would remain in Ice’s custody “pending removal to Canada”.

Canada’s government commented to KGTV that it was aware of Olivera’s detention but could not intervene on her behalf because “every country or territory decides who can enter or exit through its borders”.

Francisco Olivera, for his part, summed up his and his wife’s disillusion by saying: “My wife … up until [a couple of weeks] ago, was a strong believer in what was going to happen the next four years.”

Cynthia Olivera, meanwhile, said she has told officials she and her husband are willing to pay for her to fly to Canada, where she plans to stay in Mississauga with a cousin. Yet there had been no immediate indication when she may be able to travel to Canada.

As she fought back tears, Olivera said to KGTV: “The only crime I committed is to love this country and to work hard and to provide for my kids.”
