Maher Tarabishi’s family had hoped he could be present to say his final goodbyes to his son, Wael.

Maher, Wael’s primary caretaker, has been in federal detainment since October, separating him from his son as he battled severe health complications from a serious and rare inherited disorder.

But despite the family’s public pleas for Maher’s temporary release, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials denied their request, his attorney said

    Seems pretty clear to me that my country is no longer a beacon of freedom or justice. 2nd amendment resolutions are starting to look necessary.

    We will know in November… Or earlier if elections are canceled as I expect.

      Or even “family values” for that matter. How the hell can you claim to be focused on families while doing shit like this.

      The son had only known his father as his care taker for his entire life. The administration who claims they’re locking up “the worst of the worst,” had to detain a father (during what he thought would be another normal immigration check in just like he had been complying with for the past 20+ years) who had devoted himself to caring for his son.

      The son’s condition began to decline almost as soon as his father was detained because nobody else really understood how to care for him. His dying wish was to see his father one last time, and not only did the family first administration deny him that wish, they wouldn’t even allow the father to be temporarily released to attend his funeral.

        Yes, me, the dumb cunt that has voted in every election for progressive leaders. My apologies to my fellow Americans for electing Trump.

        A third voted for him. One third. Another third didn’t like either choice and didn’t vote. The final third bit the bullet and voted for Harris.

          this is pretty much the way I see it as well. obviously not exactly. Half of the third who voted for him are complete idiots (I thought he would only go after cirminals types)

            A good chunk of that third are black and latino voters. That fact alone is fuckin’ wild to me.

    Companies shut down for employing illegal workers repeatedly and even employing children?

    Zero.

    (we wouldn’t want our chicken baron to make only 10 billion a year, would we? He can’t afford any more cuts! Did you know he only owns six cars and ONE raggedy old 2022 jet and some yachts? Did you know his house staff is now less than a DOZEN people to take care of him and his needs like making snacks and cleaning up his pee and stuff? He just pees on the floor so what)

    It’s fucked up but I thought I read somewhere his son had died because he was detained.

    Not sure though. Don’t quote me on it.
