Why did ICE deport my coworker?


My coworker in Houston is from El Salvador and has been in the US legally under temporary protected status for roughly 20 years. He had all his paperwork in order and had renewed his temporary protected status at the proper times. He also has children born in the US.

Three weeks ago he was stopped at random by ICE while driving in his truck. He was immediately detained outside Houston then taken to detention at the border a few days later. He hired an immigration lawyer while in detention two weeks ago was deported today before anything regarding his case could be heard.

If you're not a US citizen, you're fair game, this administration and the federal agencies in question do not respect temporary protected status.

(and even in the case of being a citizen, denaturalization is being threatened, even though illegal)

I hope his family is OK. Suddenly losing a father and a financial source is panicking.

Have you been hibernating since january 2025 ? You're living in a dictatorship now, that's why.

It's because the feds are working hard to replace the rule of law with tyranny.

You need to read up on fascism.
