Daughter (here on an R-2 religious dependent visa) of Anglican priest detained by ICE. Faith leaders are now standing behind her

essentialsaltes · Monday at 8:34 AM

Yeonsoo Go, a South Korean student at Purdue University and the daughter of a beloved Episcopal priest in New York, told a friend she was nervous about a visa hearing last week, given the stream of headlines about the Trump administration’s aggressive pursuit of immigration enforcement.

Her fears were realized when she and her mother left her hearing in Manhattan on Thursday to find US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents waiting for her.

Go, 20, was arrested and placed in federal detention nearby, before eventually being moved – like so many recent ICE detainees – to a facility in Louisiana.

Now, church communities in New York and South Korea are condemning her treatment by US immigration authorities and rallying for her release.

[ICE says her R-2 expired 2 years ago.]

But an attorney for the Episcopal Diocese in New York, where Go’s mother serves as a priest, said Go’s current visa doesn’t expire until December, and Thursday’s hearing was part of her application to extend it.

She may have to be released at some point. But shes already served her purpose, which is to keep the fear level high.

ICE is supposed to be focussing on dangerous criminals. Now we know who the regime considers dangerous and why.

Eh, you gotta watch them Episcopalians.

Lol, as if they're the ones doing the fear mongering. MSM rules supreme in that department. They should rename it MFM for mainstream fear mongering. The gestapo is out to get you. The government is going to take everything away from you. The world is coming to an end.

No, that 's just what you want us to think. I feel sorry for that poor woman, but at least she has the example of Paul to encourage her.

Right, the media doesn’t need to cover these routine process-arrests of unwanted immigrants.
If we just let the government operatives do their duty and stay far away from asking questions, then we’ll be model citizens, minding our own business and let the authorities handle things.

Ignorance is patriotic, now.

Lol. They don't need to add melodrama sensationalism and hyperbole. And neither do you.

Probably a million Americans per year are detained, held, and released scot-free. And there's nothing remotely new about that.

She went to her hearing in Manhattan and is currently awaiting deportation to ??? in Louisiana…so “scot-free” don’t apply.

That's not what the OP article dated August 4th says. It says she's being held until the matter is resolved. However, if it turns out that her R-2 did expire two years ago, then yeah she'll probably get deported. And there's nothing new about that. There's a Seinfeld episode from 30 years ago where someone gets deported because their visa wasn't renewed.

How long was that person held in detention? Never mind, it's a lot more fun for MAGA when it's a person belonging to a religion that Trump hates.

Does it? In the article, DHS says she was "placed in expedited removal proceedings" which generally has limited due process and hearings.

And she is (or was) moved to the facility in Louisiana.

How much time and process is needed to determine when her R-2 expired/expires. I think it expired two years ago like they said.

ICE is not obliged to tell us, anyway.

Why are Faith leaders supported surprised by this. We knew this would happen when Trump was elected.

Right. We already knew that Trump considered the Episcopal Bishop of DC to be a "blasphemous pervert."

OK, so you've punted on defending what you claimed the OP article said.

There's nothing to defend. The facts are that if her R-2 hasn't expired, she'll be released. If it did expire then she'll be deported. Which has always been standard procedure. It's a cut and dry situation, rather than one that requires months of process. In the unlikely event it turns out that her R-2 hasn't expired, and she's deported anyways, that will be a real news story. But most likely it expired way beyond any grace period. Which is why the case has moved along the way it has.

Even when someone is a Perdue University student and the daughter of a beloved Episcopal priest, if their R-2 visa expired 2 years ago, they're going to get deported, the same they would have during the Biden, Obama, Clinton administrations.
