The gestapo came to the Keys today [View all]

I just heard from my friend who said that her yard maintenance man and his family have been taken today. She said he is legal, has all his paper work and has been working on his citizenship. Obviously that didn’t matter. She has known him for years and is distraught. She said she would do what she could to vouch for him, but doesn’t even know who to contact.
