If you think this will stop at immigrants then you’re just very naive.
Nazis also started with queer people, and Jews then political opponents like the communists and independence fighters like two of my great grandfathers in Silesia (they were pure Germans) at the end anyone who didn’t fall in line.
So I read the article. It appears he failed to submit a required document for when you marry a US citizen. And the rules state that if you fail to file it, you can be subject to removal. Having said that, the form says you can file an appeal in a written explaination if it was of no fault of your own or due to some extraordinary circumstance that you failed to file that document.
Now with the current administration, I’m not sure if filing that appeal at this stage would do anything. What the case manager said was also true, that if it was the previous administration, he might have been given more leeway to rectify the error.
The article also doesn’t state if he had an immigration attorney guide him through the process, and I suspect he didn’t and he was doing all his immigration paperwork by himself and it was an unfortunate error of not being completely aware of all the steps of a very complicated process.
I’m not trying to argue with you, just providing some context.

Nazi persecution began with the disabled.
Yes, you’re right that slipped my mind but you’re totally right.
They just detained a White (Danish) Immigrant.

Since the US is a country of laws where the administration itself stringently follows the rules, this makes sense.
Like I said, I’m just providing context on why he was flagged, not justifying what happened to him after the fact.
