   Denver mom detained by ICE without a deportation order, during her lunch break at Target, because of her immigration rights work

   "John Fabbricatore, the retired field director for ICE in Denver, says the agency tried to deport Vizguerra for years, starting in President Donald Trump's first term.

   “She's been against this government, against ICE,” Fabbricatore said. “She's just part of the Abolish ICE movement, and she should have been deported years ago.”

     @seachanger I love the way the ICE guy throws out “working under a fake Social Security number” as something that makes her deportable. It means she pays into our Social Security system through the payroll tax but will never be able to collect benefits.

     This of course is how it is with most undocumented immigrants: they carry a heavier weight in our society so the burden for the rest of us will be lighter.
