Today, I noticed a story about another green card holder, returning from Luxembourg, who was detained and very aggressively "interrogated" at Logan airport where he was asked to surrender his green card. What I also noticed was mention of "his partner." Was he a target because perhaps he is gay? We truly need to be paying close attention to the number of these incidents as they are occurring more frequently.
He isn’t gay, as his partner is female. This is actually a bit more complicated because he had a marijuana charge from when he used to live in California — I don’t remember the date now — and then missed responding to the court due to a letter being sent to the wrong address.
Still gratuitous and cruel, but there is more to that story. If you are a green card holder I would make sure you have everything absolutely correct and up to date, as any little uncrossed ‘t’, and they will make your life hell.
