Too old for DACA, man who spent 30 years of his life in U.S. is deported




DETROIT — His arms wrapped around his wife and two teenage children, Jorge Garcia's eyes welled up Monday as he looked into their eyes one last time near the entrance to the airport security gate.

His wife, Cindy Garcia, cried out while his daughter, Soleil, 15, sobbed into Garcia's shoulder as they hugged, with two U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents keeping a close eye on them.

After 30 years of living in the United States, Jorge Garcia, a 39-year-old landscaper from Lincoln Park, Mich., was deported on the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday to Mexico, a move his supporters say is another example of immigrants being unfairly targeted under the Trump administration.

None of us can claim 'I didn't know.'

Also collages of the deportations placed prominently in public buildings, eg libraries, schools, community centers, city and state buildings.

No one should be able to play the 'good German' a la Sergeant Schultz 'I know nothing'.
