My single mom has lived in the US for 24 years, pays taxes, has a work permit, and ICE still put an ankle monitor on her?
My mom recently got a letter from ICE Non-Detained telling her to report in person. She went, gave her identification and paperwork, and cooperated fully. She has a valid work permit, pays taxes, and has lived in the U.S. for 24 years without leaving the country ever. She also has two U.S.-born citizen children who have the privilege of leaving the country and seeing their mom’s home country.
After the appointment, ICE told her she now has to wear an ankle monitor 24/7 until her next immigration court date, which isn’t until 2028.
She has never been arrested or committed crimes, so our family is confused and stressed about why this happened. Has anyone else experienced this or know why ICE would require an ankle monitor in a case like this?
