Connecticut Couple: States Years and Immigration Authorities

connecticut couple: He was detained for two weeks and then deported to his native Jordan, according to CTV. Othman's supporters in the U.S. view such treatment as a particularly egregious example of the Trump administration's ramped-up deportation campaign that potentially targets anyone lacking the right papers, including long-time residents with American spouses and children. The Ohio entrepreneur, who came to the United States 38 years ago and won praise for helping revive once-blighted downtown Youngstown, was arrested during what he thought was another check-in with immigration authorities. Recent cases include a Missouri college lecturer and a Connecticut couple running a nail salon who won last-minute reprieves through local politicians but remain at risk of expulsion. Othman's battle to remain in the United States goes back to the mid-1990s, when immigration authorities refused to renew his green card, alleging his first marriage in 1980 had been fraudulent. Supporters of the crackdown say immigration rules must be enforced, regardless of family and community ties of those targeted. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
