The overly zealous folks at Immigration and Customs Enforcement start deporting Americans. Even though they have been born in this country, it doesn't matter to the overzealous goons in ICE. If you have a brown skin or a funny name, you are subject to being deported and, at the very least, you may spend a few months in jail. Note that the reporters were able to verify that one guy was born in the US, but it took the folks at ICE weeks to do that.
This works on the French system: You are presumed guilty unless you can prove otherwise. Since the Brownshirts at ICE don't follow the Constitution, you have no right to an attorney and you
will be lucky if your hearing isn't before a burned-out immigration judge with a huge rubber stamp.
Note also that the guy the story is about is, according to one set of records, now in the Soviet Union. That is probably correct, for as Badtux is fond of observing, this country is morphing into an English-speaking version of the USSR.
