To the editor: Immigration brokers aggressively detained a day-care employee, Diana Santillana Galeano, at her office with babies current (“Chicago day-care employee detained by immigration brokers launched after neighborhood help,” Nov. 13). Couldn’t they’ve waited till she was house? May they’ve given her time to organize for her arrest and separation from her household? She was handled like a harmful legal, “the worst of the worst” as President Trump declares.
People are largely individuals who worth equity, and this type of unnecessarily violent arrest is solely not honest. Even when somebody helps a normal immigration sweep, it needs to be dealt with humanely and pretty, and other people needs to be handled with fundamental human dignity.
Sadly, this explicit arrest isn’t a one-off exception to the overall coverage. The newsworthy raid on the residence constructing in Chicago, which the federal authorities justified by calling it a raid on Tren de Aragua, might have netted a few gang members. Nevertheless it additionally disrupted the lives of everybody within the constructing.
Santillana Galeano was legally working and was ultimately launched, as a number of inappropriately arrested individuals have been. This sort of typically intrusive and unfair course of is solely not American.
