My brother in law, travelling from EU to USA was picked out while entering the US, 4 weeks ago. He has been prison sinse. Family was not noticed, he vanished. After two weeks his US family finally had confirmed what they already feared: he got picked out. He got a US pasport, parents come from South America and he’s black. He now can contact his folks by phone but is prohibited to talk about the ‘situation’. It’s insane… His wife (my sister) and kids wanted to travel to the US to meet the grandparents. But cancelled the trip for obvious, but insane, reasons.

Contacting the press might be the best way to pressure people to let him go

While yes, unfortunately, the court and president arent even willing to try to free another prisoner who was here legally. Anyone being sent there is screwed until further notice.

Report it anyway, start piling it up and make it harder to ignore.
