查说细节是

  • Immigration status: Hughes-Brown, 58, was born in England and holds Irish citizenship. She has been a lawful permanent resident (green card holder) in the U.S. for approximately 47 years and is married to a U.S. citizen and Navy veteran, James Brown.
  • Arrest: She was arrested by ICE on July 29, 2025, upon returning to Chicago's O'Hare International Airport from a family funeral in Ireland. She was subsequently transferred to an ICE facility in Kentucky.
  • Reason for detention: ICE is seeking deportation based on the bounced check from a decade ago, which the agency is classifying as a "crime of moral turpitude".
  • Offense details: The check was for $25 and Hughes-Brown's family states that she paid the money back and received probation at the time.
  • Family's response: James Brown has spoken to the media, calling the situation "egregious" and stating that his wife is not a criminal. He notes that the family has submitted 40 character witness statements to their lawyer. He also stated that his previous vote for Donald Trump was a mistake, given the Trump administration's aggressive immigration policies. A GoFundMe page has been set up to help with legal fees.
  • Deportation scheduled: A deportation was reportedly scheduled for September 17, 2025.
  • ICE stance: The Department of Homeland Security has stated that a green card is a privilege, not a right, and can be revoked if laws are broken. They further stated that lawful permanent residents with certain criminal convictions may be deemed inadmissible and subject to mandatory detention.
