Illegals are illegals. Get rid of them if they are illegal. When was this ever a race issue?

He thought he was here legally, was regularly meeting with immigration officials.

So when he said he didn't file the form because his wife had a stillborn baby he was lying?  Because that suggests he knew it had to be filed.  And if he did he's had 10+ years to file it but hasn't.  So which is it?  He knew about it but didnt file it or he didn't know about it? 

There's usually more to these stories.  You libs latch on to the original, heartbreaking story and then ignore the follow up with, as Paul Harvey would say, "the rest of the story."

It’s not clear.  His wife is on record as stating that the meeting where he was detained was supposed to be his “final interview” for citizenship, and they were supposedly never notified that it still needed to be completed though:

Via their gofundme link:

“On April 15, 2025, we headed to Memphis for his final interview where we were met by ICE agents and Kasper was detained for paperwork miscommunication in 2015. We were not notified of this at any point over the years nor did it ever show up in his USCIS portal or any of our previous interviews/appointments. He has been detained and is being held in an ICE facility in Louisiana for over a month now.”

Your own article suggests they knew they had a form due.  If it's unclear then my opinion on the issue is unclear as well.  And look I'm not making excuses for the government.  It would be nice if they would go the extra mile and say "hey you know you're overdue on xxx form.". But that's not the governments role or responsibility.  If you know you are supposed to file a form and don't that's on you.  I hope they get this case figured out and this guy gets to stay.  Maybe if the immigration system wasn't so overburdened with illegals they'd have the resources to be more helpful to people such as this.

I have three vehicles.  Two of them are toys.  I just noticed I forgot to register one last year.  It's gonna be pricey to get that one legal again, especially with the penalties CO has for being late on that.  Would have been nice if they would have called and reminded me but they didn't.  That's on me.

I look at it kinda like Abrego Garcia.   If they want to deport him, fine.  Deport him.  But don’t keep him locked in a cell for a month.  He has not been accused of any crime other than missing a form.

Sure. If I don't don't fill out a registration for my car, pull me over and give me a ticket. If I keep driving and keep getting pulled over, just let me keep driving without registering. Easy peasy. 

[TimHauck 2,643]

Over the last year, the messages he received from their immigration portal seemed encouraging. “We are actively reviewing your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization,” a message on Sept. 12, 2024, read. “Our records showed nothing is outstanding at this time.”

Then, on March 7 of this year, “We scheduled an interview for your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization.”

If he signed a form allowing himself to  be deported hed be gone tomorrow.  It's the "due process" all these illegals insist on that keeps them locked up.

If it's truly just one form that he forgot (or neglected) to turn in on time, there should be an easy solution. If not, it sucks for him but them's the breaks.

In Kocher’s analysis, since January, detentions of immigrants with no convictions or charges have had a relative growth three times greater than those of convicted criminals—the consequence of the cold logic that the easiest place to find immigrants to detain is at scheduled meetings.

There still seems to be some confusion going on here.   The administration, and the voters, have been clear on this issue.  If you are here illegally, you are eligible to be deported.   I don't know why the left keeps publishing these stories.   We voted for this.   It isn't garnering any sympathy from me.

According to the family, they were never notified that he was here illegally, and the meeting where he was detained was thought to be an interview to obtain citizenship

It’s really a disgrace to the USA. It’s one thing to say we’re halting immigration, changing policy, etc. It’s totally different to break promises made. America looks like welchers, backsliders, liars to everyone, enemies & allies alike & that’s what we are. Our actions tell the truth.

@TimHauck is full of it.  His own article says the family didn't file the form in question due to a stillborn baby.  That tells us they DID KNOW he was here illegally.  If YOU were here illegally would you admit you knew it and had not filed the proper forms that would have kept you legal when they were about to deport you?  Of course not.  This is what I mean when I say I like discussing these issues with people but I don't like arguing about the FACTS.  When I brought this up to Tim earlier his response was "It's not clear."  But it IS clear.  They said they didn't file the form because of a stillborn baby.  Where does he think that tidbit came from?  The state certainly isn't saying that so it must be the family. It's VERY clear to anyone who can parse the available FACTS and form a LOGICAL conclusion.

It’s still not clear how they learned the form was missing. Even you have said “suggests” multiple times, so you don’t know what is a “FACT” about the form. 

One possibility is that they first learned that the form was missed after he was detained and they were trying to find out why.  And they could have then been told the form was due 2 years after their marriage, and then might have thought “oh that’s when we had a stillborn.”

It’s also possible they knew they missed the form at the time.  But they may have figured there was no point in sending it in after the deadline had passed, especially if according to them they were in consistent communication with immigration officials (and some sort of “portal”) who they claim never said anything about the missing form.

The thing about the stillborn is not a direct quote from the family, it’s just a paraphrasing from the article’s author.  I’m sure the family talked about it with the author, but it’s actually not even mentioned in the wife’s statement on their gofundme.  This is though: 

“On April 15, 2025, we headed to Memphis for his final interview where we were met by ICE agents and Kasper was detained for paperwork miscommunication in 2015. We were not notified of this at any point over the years nor did it ever show up in his USCIS portal or any of our previous interviews/appointments.”

Bullsh*t.  I used the word suggests to be nice and give them the benefit of the doubt.  From YOUR article:

Quote

Kasper and his wife, Savannah Hobart Eriksen, never submitted that form, which was due all the way back in 2015. She had suffered a stillbirth, losing their first child, and in the days of grief that followed, the deadline slipped right past them.

Who do you think is saying "the deadline slipped right past them?"   That's not the government.  No one is saying they didn't know about the form or the deadline.  They KNEW.  And to be clear, I mean they knew back in 2015.  They might have "forgotten" over the years, especially with our government not pressing them on it, but that doesn't change the FACT that they knew it was due back in 2015, which ultimately puts the responsibility for this on them.

Again, that's the problem with you libs.  You overlook the obvious flaws in the cases you choose to go to bat for.  This is probably not the hill you should choose to die on.

That’s just the author trying to be dramatic.  They didn’t say they definitely did know about it either (edit: maybe they did, but we don’t know for sure).  You’re the one doing that.  Claiming it’s a fact despite that not actually being stated.

There was more to it than simply "the deadline slipped by them" as I posted above and the article says.  You're cherry picking.  But what I get you saying is the journalist is just making stuff up.   Then we should discount the entire article.  Ok I'm good with that.  It's all made up sh*t.
