To the editor: Immigration brokers aggressively detained a day-care employee, Diana Santillana Galeano, at her office with young children current (“Chicago day-care employee detained by immigration brokers launched after group help,” Nov. 13). Couldn’t they’ve waited till she was dwelling? Would possibly they’ve given her time to organize for her arrest and separation from her household? She was handled like a harmful prison, “the worst of the worst” as President Trump declares.
Individuals are largely individuals who worth equity, and this type of unnecessarily violent arrest is just not truthful. Even when somebody helps a basic immigration sweep, it must be dealt with humanely and pretty, and other people must be handled with fundamental human dignity.
Sadly, this explicit arrest will not be a one-off exception to the final coverage. The newsworthy raid on the house constructing in Chicago, which the federal authorities justified by calling it a raid on Tren de Aragua, might have netted a few gang members. But it surely additionally disrupted the lives of everybody within the constructing.
Santillana Galeano was legally working and was finally launched, as a number of inappropriately arrested individuals have been. This type of usually intrusive and unfair course of is just not American.
