A Farmington mother separated from her husband and two young boys by ICE was deported to Poland this week, and the family is making a plea for community support so they can move across the globe to embark on a new life together.

Dad's a US citizen, did 10 yr in the military, a construction worker who proudly always supported his family without government assistance. Mom stayed at home to take care of their two young boys while also possessing a Master's degree physical therapy. She submitted her citizenship paperwork TWO YEARS AGO. Now he's asking for money to learn Polish and move to be with her in Poland.

Farmington is 40 min south of Minneapolis, a semi-rural, conservative exurb of 20,000 people. ICE just cost us the kind of hardworking, WHITE, model immigrant family Trump claimed he wanted here 🤬

1. She MUST be a criminal! ICE is after ONLY dangerous criminals!

2. Sadly, that's what some people on the Farmington community Facebook page are saying

Like I said, we're a conservative town with a serious shortage of critical thinking skills.

3. DHS/ICE makes phony social media

posts as part of their "campaign". Some posts could be that although I know what you mean about that area and others like it.

4. I wonder if they'll feel differently when someone they

know, a US citizen, non-criminal, is taken into custody for something similar to "86 47" on a website, or just for voting in the Democratic primary.

5. Trump created a dysfunctional family so he doesn't want anybody else to stay together either

6. Yeah, but, with her brown hair and eyes, she did not fit in. Close sarcasm.

Disclaimer: I, too, am of Polish descent and also have brown hair and eyes.

7. They have people of color in Poland?

8. Did he vote for the leopards eating people's faces party?

Why doesn't it mention who he voted for. "He's a big patriot, but it "feels" like we've been backsliding in the wrong way.

Proud that he's never needed government assistance - - until now.

Color me cynical. People are getting gunned down in the street by the government.

12. Maybe he didn't vote at all.

Who knows. The ones who voted for Trump usually seem to mention that.

9. I know for a fact that racist pigs make many anonymous tips to ICE to help get rid of

immigrant coworkers who often work harder than they do. The immigrant often makes the lazy racist look bad and they can’t have that!

All immigrants I have known display a very good work ethic. They take fewer sick days and take pride in their work.

11. Which man wasn't getting legal status?

If you are talking about the man described in the OP, whose wife is being deported, that man is a US citiizen.

13. I am reserving concern

I want to know which party he is registered and votes for before I care beyond he PT clients and their kids.
