ICE victim in Maine was a 26 year old man from Colombia

6. I used to teach ESL to immigrants. The majority were

from Latin America -- Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Ecuador. Several were US citizens from Puerto Rico. All had green cards. Some were married to Americans.

Two of the Mexicans who became naturalized citizens are now deceased, one from covid and the other before covid. Both were married to Americans and I have often wondered if their children are now having ICE problems although the children were born in the US and have American citizen fathers.

I have lost touch with most of them over the years. One from Venezuela was married to an American who worked in Venezuela. Their children were born there, but came to the US permanently when Chavez was in power. The father is a US citizen, but that often does not matter to ICE, especially since they were born outside of the US. AFAIK, the mother (my former student) did not become a citizen and remained here in a green card. I wonder if she and her children are OK.
