Deportees assets being seized [View all]

Yesterday I sent my son to buy a trailer that a guy had listed on Facebook. He told my son he was liquidating his business because he thought he might get deported. He told my son he’s doing it so govt doesn’t seize everything and keep it under civil asset forfeiture.

I knew something like this was going on.
