Today is Ousman's 1,000th day in immigration jail. His case is an example of everything that is wrong about the deportation machine. #FreeOusman (thread)
Ousman was arrested on July 31, 2017 in a home raid. ICE is the only law enforcement agency in the US that thinks it can go to a family's home without a judicial warrant and slap them in cuffs. It's unconstitutional. immigrantdefenseproject.org/ice-home-and-c…
Five days after his arrest, Ousman's partner found out she was pregnant. ICE was detaining Ousman in its discretion-meaning even they agreed they had the power to let him go. ICE refused. His daughter is now 2 and has never known her father outside of an immigration jail.
