During a large-scale RAID in new Jersey ICE officers arrested 105 immigrants. Among them was 36-year-old owner of a green card, Dane foster, the father of 4 children, came to the US from Jamaica in 1997.
During his stay in the United States Dana foster was three times detained by the police for marijuana possession — the last time 4 years ago. In all cases it ended in penalties. Despite the lack of outstanding charges, the man was sent to County jail Essex. ICE said that foster should be deported in connection with past criminal episodes.

Dane is not only a beloved family member, but also our benefactor,» wrote in Facebook the wife of the Dane — Alex foster, a veteran of the U.S. army, which disability is afraid that you will not be able to feed children one.
Lawyer afia Yunus in an interview with NJ TV said that ICE has the right to deport immigrants for breaking the law, but deportation of the owner of a green card for a minor offense in the distant past is too much: «After the election trump in one of his first decisions was that they just abolished the system of prioritization and pursue anyone who has committed an immigration violation or criminal offense, which can be reversed…»
Afia Yunus suspects that the raids by ICE are associated with failure of new Jersey to facilitate the migration police. In recent days the human rights activist has turned 4 affected with a similar situation. Example new Jersey followed by many States, including new York, to prevent politics trump aimed at the difficulty of immigration and the empowerment of previously deported immigrants who had entered.
