</div><p></p><p>This story is wild, and goes to prove that ICE can’t be trusted, and Cops can’t be trusted, frankly nobody in the goddamn “public safety” sector who gets a gun, can be trusted. </p><p>TLDR:; During WW2, a French girl and an American GI fell in love. They were separated and went their own ways. In their 80s, they found one another again, and she moved to the US to marry her wartime love. So sweet, right?</p><p>He later dies, and then his son, who is a cop, forwards all the mail so she can’t get official documents, reports her to <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/ICE" rel="tag">#<span>ICE</span></a>, where they do him a favor and drag an 86 year old woman into the cold in her nightgown in the dark of morning, shackle and handcuff her, and throw her in prison, where she’s been for weeks. </p><p>French government was finally able to secure her release. She was shipped out of this country in filthy rags, unable to even get her clothes. </p><p>I wish the Fates and Furies upon Tony and Gary <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/Ross" rel="tag">#<span>Ross</span></a>. May they never know peace in this lifetime.</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/82729c69-5604-4ecb-a62e-8e207c48d8d3/https-www.theguardian.com-world-2026-apr-17-french-widow-86-flies-home-after-ice-detention-centre-ordeal</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 15 May 2026 03:47:34 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/82729c69-5604-4ecb-a62e-8e207c48d8d3.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Fri, 17 Apr 2026 18:44:19 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;world&#x2F;2026&#x2F;apr&#x2F;17&#x2F;french-widow-86-flies-home-after-ice-detention-centre-ordeal on Fri, 17 Apr 2026 20:24:04 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="/user/missconstrue%40mefi.social">@<span>MissConstrue</span></a></span> his son did that?

My stepmothers, a succession of beautiful models who all lasted about five years each, just randomly took stuff that was my grandmother’s. Like one of them took an entire monogrammed silver set because her daughter was called them same thing as my grandmother, even though her daughter was not related to us at all. It’s been 50 years, and I’m still mad. </p><p>But as much as I hated the Beauty Brigade and their gold digging ways, I wouldn’t have condemned them to ICE about material things. It’s just stuff. People are always more important than stuff. (I still want that tea set back tho, not gonna lie.)</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mefi.social/users/MissConstrue/statuses/116421579139553381</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mefi.social/users/MissConstrue/statuses/116421579139553381</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[missconstrue@mefi.social]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 17 Apr 2026 18:58:38 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;world&#x2F;2026&#x2F;apr&#x2F;17&#x2F;french-widow-86-flies-home-after-ice-detention-centre-ordeal on Fri, 17 Apr 2026 18:52:37 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="/user/missconstrue%40mefi.social">@<span>MissConstrue</span></a></span> </p><p>May the Rosses spend a considerable portion of the rest of their lives in prison.
