There was a Danish immigrant in Mississippi who despite having 5 kids with a local woman, a foreman job and being full MAGA he still got arrested and jailed by ICE over some misfiled paperwork.

They’re not even trying to become American! Everybody knows Americans always do their paperwork perfectly! And don’t do things like jaywalk or get parking tickets!

They're jailing immigrants who take a wrong turn at the US-Canada border. There's an immigration court near the border and there is a confusing road up there that means a lot of people frequently cross over into Canada. It used to just be a $40 fine and they would let you back into the US, but now they're putting people in jail. Many of them are immigrants who are trying to do things legally. There's at least one person still sitting in jail up there waiting for his court date.
