In November, Mississippi father-of-four Kasper Eriksen couldn’t wait to see Donald Trump return as president. Six months later, he was in chains and being deposited in the nightmarish Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center, tossed into a cramped cell with 100 other unfortunate people snatched off the streets by ICE.
On paper, Eriksen is a model conservative. He worked as a welding foreman, lived on a family farm, had no criminal record, and, judging by his social media activity, was shoulder-to-shoulder with all things MAGA. None of that mattered to ICE, as back in 2015 Eriksen failed to complete Form I-751 “Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence”, just one of the countless steps on his legal path to getting full U.S. citizenship.
