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)

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.
