From the Dept of Un-Be-Fucking-Lievable!
From McClatchy comes a very scary article about a government agency that is staffed by fools who think they are foolproof. ICE.
Thomas Warziniack was born in Minnesota and grew up in Georgia, but immigration authorities pronounced him an illegal immigrant from Russia.They never make mistakes because they are too fucking stupid to know right from wrong. And we are supposed to think they are keeping us safe from scary little brown people.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has held Warziniack for weeks in an Arizona detention facility with the aim of deporting him to a country he's never seen. His jailers shrugged off Warziniack's claims that he was an American citizen, even though they could have retrieved his Minnesota birth certificate in minutes and even though a Colorado court had concluded that he was a U.S. citizen a year before it shipped him to Arizona.
On Thursday, Warziniack was told he would be released. Immigration authorities were finally able to verify his citizenship.
"The immigration agents told me they never make mistakes," Warziniack said in a phone interview from jail.
