Delma Joel Ramirez Palma. On October 12, in New Orleans, he was working on the Hard Rock Hotel construction. Under construction, the building collapsed. As the building was collapsing, he jumped from floor to floor and survived. It may be a coincidence, but he had reported safety violations at the construction site several times. Two days after the collapse, he was arrested. While fishing. Without a license. OSHA would like him back as a witness. ICE deported him.
Judge Shelley M. Richmond Joseph. In September, 2019, she was indicted for obstruction of justice. Presiding, Judge Joseph told ICE officers to wait outside the courtroom. She, allegedly, instructed Court Officer Wesley MacGregor, to release Jose Medina-Perez through the back of the courthouse. The dispute is whether Judge Joseph was obliged to cooperate with ICE.

ICE refused to unite a twenty-three year old woman with a six year old she had raised as a daughter. ICE insisted that the young woman was a flight risk, even when a New Yorker offered to house the aunt and daughter.
We should be ashamed.
