 Posted: Fri Mar 22, 2019 3:40 pm Post subject: ICE Imprisons Legal DACA Flight Attendant for Over a Month |
|
|
| Quote: | Flight attendant Selene Saavedra Roman, a DACA recipient who was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for over a month, has been released. Her release came after the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA sponsored a petition to urge the Department of Homeland Security to release her. She was detained by ICE upon returning to the U.S. from a flight from Mexico.
Saavedra Roman had raised concerns with her employers about traveling outside of the country, given her immigration status. But Mesa Airlines, which operates regional flights for American Airlines and United Airlines, insisted that Saavedra Roman could legally travel outside of the country.
After the flight from Mexico on Feb. 12, Saavedra Roman was pulled aside by customs officials and then detained by ICE.
Saavedra Roman, who emigrated from Peru when she was 3 years old, is married to a U.S. citizen and has no criminal history. Saavedra Roman's DACA status is good until November 2019. |

| She’s married to a US Citizen. Does that not grant you citizenship by default? |

No. |
Huh? I thought this was the case or at least, gives her an accelerated path to citizenship at the very least which should have been factored in here. |

Sorry, but no. An immigrant who marries a U.S. citizen must apply for a green card (U.S. permanent residence). This is a long process involving many forms and documents. The immigrant can be refused entry if he or she is found inadmissible, perhaps because of a medical problem, criminal history, past immigration violations, or the U.S. immigration authorities' belief that your marriage is a fraud to get a green card.
After successfully obtaining a green card, the immigrant spouse can, after three years as a permanent resident, apply for U.S. citizenship. (This assumes that you're still married and living together when the immigrant applies. If not, the waiting period changes to five years.) |

DACA is still protected status
Who can imprison ICE employees for following Dear Leaders
Fascist plans?
If DACA is still a protected status then hopefully someone else is jailed for
Imprisoning her |

She didn't break the law
You are correct that she is not a citizen but only a jack booted thug or Nazi could
Feel like incarcerating her is doing their job
She has been here since she was 3 years old |

Protected status means nothing.
It went thru because of an executive order and its been rescinded. Equating DACA to US citizenship is false. In fact DACA status is below green card status on the totem pole to US citizenship. |

It is a terrorist action IMHO
I understand categorically DACA is not a constitutional protection
But
She is a human life who has lived in this country over 20? Years
College graduae
Works for an airline
I'll read up on DACA protections
Could you imagine wasting thousands and thousands of dollars
To lock up this person
Are they a flight risk
Do you think she should be incarcerated? And deported? |

Ahhh, thanks. I guess the people I know who married non citizens are older so they went through that whole process before naturalizing. |
