Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved.
DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.

EXCLUSIVE: Terez Metry was 13 when her family fled to Tennessee from Egypt in 2011. Then, they left her behind. She only recently discovered she had an order of removal from 2011. But she was following the legal path to citizenship. On Monday, at a routine DHS meeting, Metry was detained.

So, one of the Epstein docs released was inexplicably a practice MBE exam. And yet, there were several redactions in it. Which suggests that perhaps the DOJ/FBI isn't taking care to redact properly.
Guess they blindly redacted IM / AM (or PM) without context.

![Question #1 - Evidence
In a suit based on a will, inheritance of $1 million depended on whether the wife had survived her husband when both died in the crash off a small airplane. An applicable statute provided that, for purposes of distributing an estate after a common disaster, there was a rebuttable presumption that neither spouse had survived the other. A witness was called to testify that as she approached the plane she heard what she thought was a woman's voice saying, "[redacted] dying," although by the time the two occupants were removed from the wreckage they were both dead.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yauoamoy7surmmvwm5s4nahm/bafkreihs6zealbmbhmsxpiyvwoh7qobyn3je7garpgui2fqqoolmuanhny@jpeg)

Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.

This is horrifying. Blasting windows out of a house 14 seconds after ordering the residents to come out, who happened to be a mom and two small children. Also U.S. citizens, but it would be horrifying no matter who was in the house. For alleged property damage by a guy who wasn’t home at the time.
This NYT video shows DHS using explosives to blow the door off a home of a U.S. citizen wanted for "injuring government property" in Huntington Park CA on 6/27 as Bovino watches nearby. The case, involving a collision with a CBP vehicle, was flimsy and later dropped.
