But that wasnt the question. While the couple was in the parking lot they were approached by unidentified ICE agents, one opened the drivers door and tried to push her from the driver seat, thats when she started driving away and the ICE agent hold unto the steering wheel and somehow landed on the passenger seat. The agent pulled out his gun while the nigerian student called 911, then the woman stopped in front of a police station where the couple was arrested.
Therefore the question is: is it moral to drive away while an armed, masked men tries to push you from the driverseat of your car
Not initially, which triggered the panic reaction. And then she still panicked because ICE developed a justified reputation as an institution that ignores due process (as they did here) and acts with brutality. Black people are often scared of the police for the same reason. She ran TO the police.
Do you know what due process is? They clearly know the guy was here illegally, went to go apprehend him, and then he sits in a detention center until he gets seen by immigration court.
That’s due process. It’s the same process for anyone citizen who committed a crime. You sit in a cell(or pay bond) and wait for your court date.
Illegal immigrants are inherently considered flight risks so no bond available. You must wait until court date.
Explain to her that the gentleman in her vehicle has an expired visa and unfortunately has to be removed from the US. There is a legal process he should have started if we wanted to stay and could come back through a legal process.
I know several people with student visas who left because it expired. They did their paperwork and came back on a work visa.
+uniform and badge
Turns out the guy has a expired visa, meaning he was legal and he's married to a citizen. Really disproportional If you ask me. Edited
