Then, late last month, Wu was with a group of friends in Maine and “called emergency services to assist a person attempting suicide.”
That phone call landed Wu in immigration detention.
“Upon arrival, local police requested Mr. Wu’s identification,” the order goes on. “Despite the life-saving nature of the call, once Mr. Wu’s noncitizen status was disclosed, police chose to contact U.S. Border Patrol (USBP). USBP subsequently took Mr. Wu into custody, characterizing him as a ‘flight risk’ based on an alleged failure to update his address…Later that day, ICE issued a warrant of removal/deportation.”
Neumann, however, suspects the aforementioned address issue was actually a failure of translation because that statement was “obtained without the assistance of a translator despite Mr. Wu’s limited English proficiency.”
“Trying to save someone’s life? Believe it or not, straight to El Salvador.”
No good deed goes unpunished, Jesus Christ. Maine needs to pass a law forbidding cops from doing this, because they’re the ones that reported him for trying to prevent a suicide.
pass a law
🤦♀️ nah, Mainers need to bloc up.
Out with all bastards.
