There's nothing to defend. The facts are that if her R-2 hasn't expired, she'll be released.
The facts are, if it hadn't expired, she shouldn't have been detained in the first place. But judging by your attitude, you seem to be fine with this sort of stuff.

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.
What about the detention? That would not have been usual for such a person under previous administrations. Why not let the hearing officer figure it out and issue a deportation order if necessary? Was her overstay intentional? Was she a flight risk? A danger to the community?

Just about anyone under any US administration would get detained and then deported if their visa had expired 2 years ago. Period end of story. She's one in a zillion over a span of decades, whom the left decided to make into their latest poster child.

It's been the process regarding expired visas for decades. It's firmly entrenched US law regardless of my attitude. But thanks for the personal attack. It reminds me of why I selected to not to see your posts most of the time.

I just love these data-free observations of yours.

Daughter of priest, 20, released from ICE detention after arrest during routine court hearing

Days earlier Go was arrested by ICE. The move ignited fury across faith communities, civil rights groups, and Korean American advocacy organizations.

Go's attorney insisted her visa is active and valid through the end of this year, while the Department of Homeland Security says it expired more than two years ago.

Rev. Kim noted how so many other detainees are not as fortunate as her daughter.

'It's not [just] Soo in this situation,' Rev. Kim said. 'There are more, maybe, those in need of support.

Mary Rothwell Davis, attorney for the Episcopal Diocese of New York, told 13News Go was released to her mother on her own recognizance, but did not know any other terms of the release.

Rothwell Davis also said Go was given a hearing date for her visa status in late August.

[At least We The People paid to have her snatched off the streets and flown around the country all to no purpose.]

Korean American community leaders say the episode is part of a disturbing trend of rising enforcement actions targeting Korean nationals regardless of their legal status.

Go's case echoes the recent detention of Tae Heung Will Kim, a Korean green card holder and Texas resident who was taken into custody at San Francisco International Airport last month.

Kim, a Ph.D. student, was held at the airport for more than a week before being transferred to an ICE facility in Arizona.

His family has not received information about his condition or location.

So it was all just another episode of Deportation Theater. I wonder how ICE agents actually feel about these dog-and-pony shows? I sincerely believe that many of them (including Homan) are serious professionals who would prefer to be tracking down real criminals, gangsters and traffickers instead of pandering to jingoistic bigots.

That's an observation based on your own post. You were completely unbothered that she was taken in by ICE even with a valid R-2, because they'd just release her. We can read what you wrote. But her detainment would have been invalid in that case to begin with and shouldn't have happened and your reaction to that possibility is essentially a shrug. I think we can all agree that everyone would like law enforcement to work legally and properly.
