To the editor: Disgrace upon disgrace. An 18-year-old highschool scholar strolling his canine is arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“An L.A. high school senior was walking his dog. Then immigration agents grabbed him,” Aug. 14). I assumed President Trump was after arresting “the worst of the worst.” The 18-year-old arrested is Benjamin Guerrero-Cruz, who had overstayed his visa — hardly becoming Trump’s arrest profile. Overstaying a visa isn’t a legal offense; it is a civil violation.
Second disgrace: The canine the coed was strolling was tied to a tree by ICE brokers after which his collar was unclipped, permitting the, I think about, scared animal to run unfastened on Sepulveda Boulevard, in response to a GoFundMe web page.
Actually, Trump? What are you doing? I ponder what occurred to each the coed and the canine.
