My son's aide had to quit his job entirely last month (he's been working for 30 years) because his father took his mother, who has dementia, out shopping and when the father tried to get her back into the car, she became confused and started crying hard. ICE got on his ass right there in the street, heard the accent, and hauled this poor dude in. The mother absolutely lost her shit, I mean she has dementia, was already struggling and then she saw her husband being hauled off in handcuffs. My son's aide had to go collect the father, who has been a U.S. citizen for decades, and calm the mother and it was a giant mess. My son's aide has to be there for his mother full-time now to take her to her doctor's appointments and the like because he's the one who doesn't have an accent. And if his mother flips out again, which she will because she has dementia, and the father has to call for an ambulance and they arrive and hear the accent, it could just as easily happen again. Meanwhile, oh well, they still have a mortgage to pay. God knows how.
Yes, this shit actually happened.
Yeah, that sounds a lot like "due process" and final determination of claims.....SAID NO ONE EVER.
