Wife of Greensboro man works to bring him home after he was detained by ICE
GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) — Immigration and Customs Enforcement has detained a Greensboro man after he returned from his honeymoon in his home country of the Dominican Republic.
31-year-old Angel and his wife, 27-year-old Milady, were heading to their connecting flight home when they were stopped, and agents handcuffed Angel.
Now he is being held at a detention center in Miami.
'We leave DR, get on our flight, come to Miami, everything's perfect, we're in checkout in Miami and they take us back to customs. Basically, they just detain him there,' Milady said.
Milady said they were taken into a separate area. She thought it was just an extra security check and nothing more.
After three hours of waiting, it was time to say goodbye.
'I'm screaming, 'I'm pregnant'. I have my marriage certificate in my hand … Just write him a citation or whatever. He's going to show up in court. What is this?' Milady said.
Angel was detained by ICE officers.
'They brought him in handcuffs … That was on May 4, and I haven't seen him since,' Milady said.
Milady and Angel got married in April and are expecting a baby. Despite what their marriage certificate and Angel's documents state, he was taken away in handcuffs and sent to Krome Detention Center in Miami.
'They basically mentioned that with these new laws and under the Trump administration, marriage is just a good credit. It's like something that goes on an undocumented person's resume,' Milady said.
FOX8 asked Milady if we could see Angel's documents showing he is here on a green card. She says ICE took everything when he was detained.
'He's a hardworking citizen. He pays taxes. He has a 401(k). He's been working since I met him. He's been working prior to that,' Milady said.
Milady is hopeful a legal team can help her bring him home before her worst fear becomes a reality.
'I don't want him to miss the birth of our child,' Milady said.
Milady is working to raise money to afford an attorney and make Angel's bail.
A GoFundMe has been set up.

Family of accused Boulder, Colo., attacker detained by ICE
June 4 (UPI) -- Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Tuesday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were detaining the family of the man accused of injuring 12 in an attack targeting Jewish demonstrators in Colorado over the weekend. "Today, the Department of Homeland Security and ICE are taking the family of suspected Boulder, Colo., terrorist and illegal alien Mohamed Sabry Soliman into ICE custody," she said in a recorded statement published to X. "Now, Mohamed's despicable actions will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, but we're also investigating to what extent his family knew about this horrific attack, if they had any knowledge of it or if they provided support to it." Soliman, an Egyptian national, is facing federal hate crime charges on accusations of wounding 12 people with a makeshift flamethrower and Molotov cocktails on Sunday. The victims were attending a weekly Boulder event near the county courthouse in support of Jewish hostages held by Hamas. He is accused of shouting "free Palestine" during the attack. DHS has said that he and his wife and five children were in the country illegally. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said he entered Canada in August 2022 on a B-2 visa that expired in February 2023 and that he filed for asylum in September. "Six one-way Tickets for Mohamed's Wife and Five Kids," the White House said in a statement on X. "Final Boarding call coming soon. The White House said they could be deported as soon as Tuesday night. The announcement comes amid the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration, including targeting foreign students and immigrants who have voiced either opposition to Israel in its war against Hamas in Gaza or support for Palestinians. Since the attack, Trump administration officials have pointed to it as justification for their crackdown and plans for mass deportations. Long having blamed the former Biden administration's border policies for undocumented migrants being in the country, they now cite Soliman as an example of the consequences. "In light of yesterday's horrific attack, all terrorists, their family members and terrorist sympathizers here on a visa should know that under the Trump administration we will find you, revoke your visa and deport you," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement Monday.

Austin city manager removes item on automatic license plate readers from council agenda
The Brief Item regarding automated license plate reader program removed from Austin City Council agenda City manager cites concerns expressed by residents during Tuesday's work session Testimony focused on city's vendor Flock, which works with ICE and uses AI AUSTIN, Texas - Austin's city manager has removed an item concerning the city's automated license plate reader (ALPR) program from Thursday's city council agenda. What we know T.C. Broadnax said in a statement Tuesday night that staff will be withdrawing Item 67, a proposed extension of the city's ALPR program, from Thursday's agenda. Broadnax cites concerns expressed by Austin residents during the council's work session on Tuesday as a reason behind his decision. What they're saying "Given concerns expressed today, I have decided to withdraw this item from the agenda at this time to provide more opportunities to address council members' questions and do our due diligence to alleviate concerns prior to bringing this item back to City Council for consideration," Broadnax said in his message to the Mayor and Council. Local perspective A press release from the office of council member Mike Siegel says that dozens of residents showed up to the work session to testify about the program. "The speakers overwhelmingly testified against the use of ALPRs, citing concerns about personal privacy, threats to immigrant families, threats to political dissidents, and more. Much of the testimony focused on the City's ALPR vendor, Flock, which works closely with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and also uses artificial intelligence (AI) to develop profiles of vehicles based on camera footage and other sources," said the release. What's next Broadnax's decision essentially means Austin's ALPR program will end on June 30. A press conference is scheduled for Wednesday, June 4 at 11:30 a.m. where immigration, reproductive rights and data privacy advocates will be joining Mayor Pro Tem Vanessa Fuentes, Council member Zo Qadri and Siegel. They are expected to speak against the use of ALPRs and mass surveillance tools in Austin. The Source Information in this report comes from a release from Austin City Council member Mike Siegel's office.

Trump's Haste Begets Lawlessness
Last week, a federal court ruled that President Donald Trump had exceeded his statutory authority by imposing a raft of tariffs based on the "national emergency" supposedly caused by the longstanding U.S. trade deficit. Those tariffs are part of an alarming pattern: In his rush to enact his agenda, Trump frequently treats legal constraints as inconveniences that can be overridden by executive fiat. The U.S. Court of International Trade rejected Trump's reliance on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to justify sweeping import taxes he announced in February and April. The three-judge panel said that 48-year-old law, which does not even mention tariffs and had never been used this way before, does not authorize the president to "impose unlimited tariffs on goods from nearly every country in the world." That decision did not affect tariffs that Trump has imposed or proposed under different statutes, such as his taxes on cars, steel, and aluminum. But by invoking the IEEPA, Trump hoped to avoid the specific rationales and sometimes lengthy procedures those laws mandate. Trump's immigration crackdown features similar legal shortcuts. After he asserted the power to summarily deport alleged members of a Venezuelan gang as "alien enemies," for example, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that they had a due process right to contest that designation. That decision did not address Trump's dubious interpretation of the 227-year-old Alien Enemies Act. But several federal judges, including a Trump appointee, subsequently concluded that it made no sense to portray gang members as "natives, citizens, denizens, or subjects" of a "hostile nation or government" that had launched an "invasion or predatory incursion against the territory of the United States." As with tariffs, Trump had a more legally defensible option: deportation of unauthorized residents under the Immigration and Nationality Act. But in both cases, he chose the course he thought would avoid pesky procedural requirements. Something similar happened when Immigration and Customs Enforcement suddenly terminated thousands of records in the database of foreign students with visas authorizing them to attend American universities. Although that move was described as part of a "Student Criminal Alien Initiative," it affected many people without disqualifying criminal records—in some cases, without any criminal records at all. Those terminations "reflect an instinct that has become prevalent in our society to effectuate change: move fast and break things," U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White wrote when he issued a preliminary injunction against the initiative on May 22. "That instinct must be checked when it conflicts with established principles of law." The same instinct is apparent in Trump's conflict with Harvard University. The administration froze more than $2 billion in federal research grants to Harvard, ostensibly because the university, by tolerating antisemitism on campus, had failed to meet its "responsibility to uphold civil rights laws." That decision ignored the legal process for rescinding federal funding based on such alleged violations. The process includes "a lot of steps, but they're important," the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression notes. "They protect students by making sure colleges live up to their obligations. And they protect colleges by making sure they have an opportunity to contest the allegations as well as a chance to make things right." Trump's disregard for the law is coupled with angry dismay at judicial review. As he sees it, any judge who dares to impede his will is a "Radical Left Lunatic," a "troublemaker" and "agitator" who "should be IMPEACHED!!!" After the tariff ruling, a White House spokesman argued that the court charged with interpreting and applying trade laws had no business doing that. "It is not for unelected judges to decide how to properly address a national emergency," he insisted. Contrary to that take, "it is emphatically the province and duty" of the judicial branch to "say what the law is," as Chief Justice John Marshall put it 222 years ago. Especially when the executive branch is headed by someone who does not seem to care. © Copyright 2025 by Creators Syndicate Inc. The post Trump's Haste Begets Lawlessness appeared first on
