ALT It’s easy to get inured to the haphazard absurdity and tragedy of so many ICE arrests, but every now and then, you read about one that sets a new low. A few weeks ago, an asylum-seeker named Nayeli showed up at a Maryland courthouse to resolve a $12.08 McDonald’s debt to her former employer. She had left the company, but had apparently forgotten to delete the firm’s credit card from the McDonald’s app; in any case, Nayeli’s mother had already paid the debt back. No matter. Her old boss took her to court, and once she was there, four plainclothes law enforcement officers took her away; she was then shuttled off to a detention center in Virginia, where she awaits a hearing. This brief laurel describes only the gist; for the full details, read Madeleine O’Neill’s excellent piece in the Baltimore Brew.
