Another ICE outrage:

Another ICE outrage:

Last month, Meenu Batra, 53, who has lived in the South Texas border colonia of Laguna Heights since 2002, was on her way to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to work another case. She’s been a court interpreter for over 20 years, the only one licensed in Texas for Hindi, Punjabi, or Urdu. Her language skills are requested nationwide, where she’s contracted to help people making their way through the immigration court system, just as she did for herself 35 years ago when she immigrated from India to New Jersey before settling in Texas.

She planned to meet with her adult children in Austin after the Wisconsin trip, the only difference she foresaw in an otherwise typical trip. Her routine for years included flying from either Harlingen or Brownsville to far-flung parts of the country where South Asian immigrants needed language access. For this trip, the flight was out of Harlingen.

But, around 5 p.m. on March 17, Batra was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents after passing through security at Harlingen International Airport. In a sworn deposition that was filed as part of a petition for habeas corpus—a legal request to be released on the grounds that the detention is unlawful—Batra said the people who arrested her did not have visible badges nor were they wearing uniforms. One of those agents had asked Batra if she knew she was in the country illegally and that she had a deportation order. She replied that her work authorization status, which she applied for regularly after being granted a legal status called withholding of removal by a New Jersey immigration judge decades ago, was good for another four years.

“That doesn’t mean you can be here forever,” the agent replied. Two more plainclothes agents would join the two that detained her, bringing her down the escalator and to the front of the airport.

We're just deporting the worst of the worst, right?

3. From my self defense class: never engage. Don't answer any questions. Don't talk. Anything you say will

be used against you. They aren’t interested in your answers or having a conversation. It lets bad guy move in close to hurt you.

Scream fire. Better response than calling for help.

Call 911 immediately for kidnapping.

Take photos if you can.

Get their dna if you can.

Sit down, make them carry you.

Don’t obey in advance.

But they were, in fact, duly sworn officers of the law.

An (Asian) Indian woman was living in a "colonia"? :o

Ocelot II doesn't know that law enforcement, from city police through Federal, regularly have officers working in "plain clothes"?

The (probable) activist-org-sourced :bouncy: posted by Ocelot II has the rickety loosey-goosey feel of having had significant narrative-contradicting information edited out.

Was she actually detained? Or was she hanging out at a resort/spa enjoying life? With the lefty's hero/victims you can never tell.
