I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence

"Use this form if you are a conditional permanent resident who obtained status through marriage and want to apply to remove the conditions on your permanent resident status."

Seems like kind of an important thing to forget!

If his family loves him, they’ll love following him to where he belongs.

I think pretty soon they’ll be escalating the verbiage to “amputated”

LOL - “Ripped” from his family. Gotta give it to the headline writer for the ability to sensationalize. This deficiency will be fixed and he’ll be released from detention…. and that will not in the headlines.

Democrats within ICE deliberately create these Simon Legree situations to discredit Trump.

"they forgot to file Form I-751"

Then obviously it's his fault that ICE has detained him--certainly nobody else's fault.

“Democrats within ICE deliberately create these Simon Legree situations to discredit Trump.”

Someone here called it malicious overzealousness or something like that.

I think we're missing a piece. Was she pregnant when he used her for his residency? Was the miscarriage real?? Is this the same wife he is with??

Is this article creative writing??

No sympathy for illegal aliens. Send him back where he came from. If his family loves him so much, they can follow him.

It may be good practice to not take sensational “news” reporting as fact.

Headline’s wrong. If he failed to file the required form, then he wasn’t in the U.S. legally.

This sort of thing is routinely handled by the immigration courts.

Lets see how it works out.
