These are the kinds of cases Tom Homan means when he says they’re prioritizing targeting people with “criminal records”
*Green card application in process and work permit, married to US citizen

*In detention for five months with no charge, despite judge approving release
*He disputes ICE claim that he signed forms agreeing to deportation
