ICE tried to deport a U.S.-born Marine, and his mom wants to know why

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Jilmar Ramos-Gomez was born and raised in Grand Rapids, joining the U.S. Marines after high school and becoming a decorated veteran who served in Afghanistan.

But despite his service — and despite being a U.S. citizen — Ramos-Gomez was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials for deportation after he was arrested on trespassing charges, said immigration attorneys. ICE and county officials had confused Ramos-Gomez, 27, with being an immigrant even though he had his U.S. passport and other ID on him at the time of his arrest.

Last month, after Ramos-Gomez was released on bond, ICE officials transported him from Kent County jail to an immigrant detention center in Calhoun County. He was set to be deported, until his mother contacted an attorney to rescue him from jail.

The detention has outraged his family and civil rights attorneys who say it's an example of how immigration and county officials have become overzealous in immigration enforcement. They also say it's an example of racial profiling of Latinos by immigration officials, and police.

2. What country were they even going to deport him to?!

I mean, what, just dump someone over the border regardless of where they're from?

This is insane. These people are insane.

3. Apparently, someone from ICE

thinks "Grand Rapids" is overseas.

4. Yeah, that sure does sound like a place those "furriners' would come from, doesn't it?

5. Of course. Betsy DeVos lives there. Deport her.

6. ICE is starting to have a

Gestapo look more and more every day.

7. It's not a mistake, it's vicious racism and it's

time for ICE to be investigated to see just how widespread this shameful practice is. Has the KKK infiltrated the ranks, much like they have infiltrated many police departments across the country?

8. ICE needs to be melted.

We have a border patrol. ICE has become a hate group.

9. With a name like Ramos-Gomez ICE considered him guilty until proven innocent.

And even when confronted with the proof they still considered him guilty.

A disgusting and shameful way to treat a decorated Marine Corps veteran.
