Lord knows that Americans would never humble themselves that low, right?
Lorenzo Thompson entered the United States on a 6-month visa in 2021, and just stayed. And Thompson had absolutely no intentions of returning to his home country of Jamaica.
Southwest Airlines hired the man illegally in the country to be a flight attendant. He was detained in Nashville earlier this month.
Here's Fox News:
'Against our nation's laws, he overstayed his visa and failed to depart. He will remain in ICE custody pending his immigration proceedings,' an ICE spokesperson said ...
TWU Local 556, the union that represents Southwest Airlines flight attendants, also confirmed the arrest.
'Every Member deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, and we are committed to ensuring this Member and their family know they are not alone during this difficult time,' the union wrote on Facebook.
The Labor Council for Latin American Advancement (LCLAA) said Thompson was working toward obtaining U.S. citizenship.
The labor union emphasizes that Lorenzo had a legal visa to be in the United States, but ICE pointed out that his visa expired 5 years ago.
