Mbock came to the United States as a child from Cameroon in 2002. Court documents show he had a long-standing removal order, “which resulted from a grant of voluntary departure in 2005.” It was eventually converted to a removal order. Despite the removal order, family and friends say Mbock completed his yearly check-ins and was able to renew his work permit without any problems from ICE for decades.
I guess with the push to enforce they no longer wanted to extend his renewals and he finally got removed. I wonder why the article didn’t include that detail?
If he came into the US as a child in 2002 and signed a “voluntary” removal order in 2005, it sure seems like ICE conned a child into giving up their rights, something they continue to do today.
People opting not to enforce that despicable act for 21 years is laudable. The fact that Trumps ICE are instead enforcing it should have been mentioned, along with a roaring condemnation of how we treat vulberable children in this country.
