People who are suddenly deported to countries they haven’t been to for years — or, in some cases, have NEVER been to — are incredibly vulnerable. We are going to be reading stories like this for years.

My brain is full of stuff people have told me I could not prove with other sources, data or documents. It takes time and energy to talk to multiple vulnerable people, getting the details and timeline right, both for accuracy and to avoid a lawsuit. And even then, sometimes people sue anyway.
