Green Card Applicant Arrested After Defying Deportation Order

A Green Card Applicant's Arrest Highlights Strict US Immigration Enforcement New Orleans, LA – A recent arrest of a green card applicant in New Orleans has spotlighted the U.S.'s zero-tolerance policy for those who ignore deportation orders. The case involves an individual who was apprehended by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in 2018 and ordered removed by an immigration judge. Despite this, seven years later, she applied for a green card, resulting in her apprehension by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in New Orleans. The case underscores the long memory and strict enforcement within the U.S. immigration system. A tweet from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) highlighted the incident, emphasizing the lack of tolerance for such actions. "Ignoring an immigration judge's order to leave the U.S. is a bad idea," stated the USCIS tweet. "Seven years later, she had another bad idea and applied for a Green Card." The tweet further emphasized that DHS has a long memory and no tolerance for defiance. The incident serves as a reminder of the consequences of ignoring deportation orders. While the details of the individual's case are limited, the arrest highlights the ongoing challenges and complexities of U.S. immigration policy.
