His family spoke out first. Now DHS is responding to the Feb. 17 ICE detention of Juan Martin Espindola Ramirez on Nolensville Pike — and the accounts don't match. https://t.co/vVaJsbOfLu

[Homeland Security @DHSgov]

On February 17, ICE arrested Juan Espindola-Ramirez, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico. During a vehicle stop, Espindola-Ramirez refused to exit his vehicle when officers requested him to do so. ICE officers removed him from his vehicle. During the stop, he continued to resist arrest and attempted to run away from officers.  ICE safely took Espindola-Ramirez into custody.

Espindola-Ramirez did NOT present any form of a driver license during the encounter. He has two previous arrests in 2018 and 2019 by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department for driving without a license. He will receive full due process and remain in ICE custody pending immigration proceedings.

He was granted work authorization by the Biden administration. To be clear work authorization does not confer any legal status in this country.

Being in detention is a choice. We encourage all parents to use the CBP Home app to take control of their departure. The United States is offering illegal aliens $2,600 and a free flight to self-deport now.

We encourage every person here illegally to take advantage of this offer and reserve the chance to come back to the U.S. the right legal way to live the American dream. If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return.

Bad Bunny says "ICE OUT" at the #Grammys and receives a massive standing ovation:

"We are not savage, we are not animals, we are not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans. The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. So, please, we need to be different."

Antonio Enriquez, 53, was walking to a Melrose Park store last month when agents demanded to see his documents. He told them they were a few blocks away at his home, pleading “Vamos a mi casa. Let’s go to my house.” 

But the agents ignored him.

The feds took Enriquez to the Broadview ICE facility. He was held for six hours until she took a copy of his green card and Social Security card. She feared that ICE wouldn’t let him go even though he’s in the country legally.

In the hours leading up to the decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel, two sources familiar with the matter say, senior executives at ABC, its owner Disney, and affiliates convened emergency meetings to figure out how to minimize the damage. Multiple execs felt that Kimmel had not actually said anything over the line, the two sources say, but the threat of Trump administration retaliation loomed.
