USCIS appears to have arbitrarily rescinded her DACA while she was applying for residency over something which even if true (and she says it isn't) would not necessarily justify the loss of her status, which makes this a multi-agency conspiracy

I am ready to go beyond implication and say after reading the facts here that one of the most recognizable people working in the White House almost certainly had ICE arrest her nephew's mother as a favor to her brother
This article heavily implies that ICE is being used in a custody dispute to help Karoline Leavitt's brother get his son and have the mother locked up in ICE detention
