Lewelyn Dixon, a health worker who has lived in the United States legally for 50 years, was arrested at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport following a trip to her native Philippines in late February. The incident raised significant concerns regarding the treatment of long-term residents by immigration enforcement agencies.
Dixon's arrest sparked public outcry and drew attention to the complexities surrounding immigration laws and their enforcement. Advocates argued that her lengthy legal residency should have protected her from such actions, highlighting the challenges faced by individuals in similar situations.
After spending three months in custody, Dixon was finally released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Her case has ignited discussions about the need for reform in immigration policies, particularly regarding the treatment of individuals who have established deep roots in the country. The community continues to rally for justice and better protections for long-term residents facing similar predicaments.
