Feds exploited marriage interviews in Baltimore trap case
Alyse and Elmer Sanchez survived a green card interview only for Elmer to be detained for deportation to Honduras. They joined a class action accusing federal agents of luring couples to interviews to detain immigrant spouses. The suit cites Maryland and other states as part of a broader pattern under Obama era rules. The ACLU says the process should verify bona fides, not trap families seeking lawful status.
