It’s almost the same as rounding up innocent people and deporting them, only . . . different.
I believe it was longer ago than that…2007? I don’t know the degree of the crime but it appears it was never resolved and it should have been. Now it’s being resolved as it should have been and due to her negligence, it’s years later when her path crossed those enforcing the laws.
She’s been in a WA state facility since April 21 and will remain there until at least May 7.
Earlier this year she accompanied her stepmother to Ireland to visit her father, who has dementia, and after returning to the US was stopped at Seattle airport on 19 March and held for three days.
She was released to obtain documentation about the allegedly expunged convictions and presented them to Ice officials at San Francisco airport on 21 April, after which she was again detained and sent to the facility at Tacoma, said Holladay.
Ward was shackled en route, leaving her feeling shamed and demoralised, and found conditions at the facility to be harsh, her sister said. “Although she can’t speak with the majority of the women in there because most don’t speak English, they have been giving each other support and there are lots of tears and hugs between the women.”
Erin Hall, a Seattle-based lawyer, is due to have an initial consultation with Ward on Monday. Ward’s immigration hearing is scheduled for 7 May.
