An Albanian woman is on tarmac at Newark Airport right now on verge of deportation. She was detained in April after she allegedly interfered with officials as they deported her husband. Her son remains in detention in N.J. Her 10-year-old daughter, a U.S. citizen, now parentless.
Here's the back story on her arrest that led to her deportation. (northjersey.com/story/news/new…) She said she was just trying to hug her husband goodbye. They had lived here 17 years. After he was deported back to Albania, he said he was beaten by armed men. He's a Christian minority.
And here's the @oslazarus @WNYC @TheTakeaway deep dive into the family and their story, from March, before these deportations. wnyc.org/story/family-f…
@oslazarus @WNYC @TheTakeaway The mother's deportation & son's detention are notable because the initial arrests were handled by the @PANYNJ, which is run by Dems @GovMurphy & @NYGovCuomo, who so vociferously oppose family separation.
@oslazarus @WNYC @TheTakeaway @PANYNJ @GovMurphy @NYGovCuomo Today's pending deportation comes minutes after @GovMurphy signed an executive order to "Prevent State Resources from Being Used to Separate Families of Immigrants." Unclear if this would've done anything to prevent this deportation (or any other) if it had already been in place.
