The situation involves a family friend who was wrongly targeted by ICE, and the details paint a picture of overreach and potential abuse of power that’s deeply troubling. The story, as it unfolds, is one that triggers several red flags about due process, abuse of authority, and the overall climate of fear that can be generated when government agencies operate with a perceived lack of accountability.
