A murky, deeply troublesome situation has been unfolding in Chicago overnight. It appears CBP detained an American citizen at O’Hare, took her to an ICE detention facility in Chicago. She hasn’t been heard from since and her family cannot locate her. She may or may not have been transported to a different facility in Wisconsin.

Skokie woman held by Border Patrol at O’Hare

Born in Evanston, she had arrived at O'Hare on a flight from Turkey.

@heidilifeldman I feel like it might be the right time for something really radical, like Obama himself arranging to be taken by ICE in Chicago, let that play out.
@jab01701mid he would never do that, he’s not one of us…
‘A State of Panic’: Native Americans Left in the Dark Weeks After ICE Arrests

Native American leaders tell TIME that ICE detentions and the lack of transparency are deepening long-standing federal failures.

You know about all those concentration camps the regime is trying to set up all around the country? Who do you think they are for?

The illegal unconstitutional use of secret police must stop.

@heidilifeldman

Abolish ICE then abolish qualified immunity and replace it with guaranteed accountability via a federal agency that prosecutes dirty cops. Kind of like ICE for law enforcement.

@heidilifeldman I believe she was released late last night (I’m local to this one) but not sure of the status of colleagues picked up with her. UPDATE: they were all released late last night. Should not have been taken in the first place of course.
@heidilifeldman The story seems to indicate that she was released Saturday morning, unless I'm missing something (which is certainly possible -- it's reported in a somewhat confusing way).

There's still plenty to disturb here, obviously. But the "she hasn't been heard from since" part appears to be over now.

@heidilifeldman

yup. firing noem does nothing to fix the underlying and pervasive rot in all of DHS. the entire department needs to be disassembled and rethought from scratch, with significant increases in regulation, guard rails, rules of behavior, clear mission.

@paul_ipv6 disassembled, burned, and never revived in any form

@heidilifeldman

@paul_ipv6 @heidilifeldman DHS needs to be broken back down into its constituent parts.

ICE and CBP are symptoms of American schizophrenia about immigrants. We need to have an honest conversation about the role immigrants should play in American society. But I can't see that conversation happening in the current state of the nation.

@SVChucko @heidilifeldman

yup. the whole concept was a land grab, taking advantage of fear of terrorism, to make a huge over-reach and enable all sorts of racist/fascist agendas.

this is still way too relevant and accurate a cartoon:

@heidilifeldman The story update said she was released, but most people don’t have that kind of outside support
@avirr @heidilifeldman
Who was lying when they said she wasn't detained? Is that prosecutable?
@heidilifeldman More constitutional crimes committed by the gop'$tapo....
It seems there is no resolution in sight with the gremlins still in the kremlin - can't call it 'congress' anymore.
