My electrician is a green card holder who's been here since he was a kid. He got married to a citizen, applied for citizenship, went to court for the papers and when he got there ICE kidnapped him and he's been locked up for a month.

Explanations?
1) Incriminating Epstein documents being circulated internally
2) Illegal activities discovered in the business
3) Extraordinary coincidence
