Owners of Jersey Kebab restaurant in New Jersey were detained by ICE due to being in the US illegally, causing outrage from the local community. Emine and Celal Emanet, who moved to the US from Turkey in 2008, were arrested, resulting in Celal being released with an ankle monitor while Emine remains in ICE custody. The couple applied for a green card but were denied multiple times, leaving them in limbo. Local officials and community members showed support for the Emanet family, with a GoFundMe raising over $310,000 for them. Haddon Township residents gathered to write letters in support of Emine’s release. The couple’s son expressed gratitude for the community’s support and continued to provide free food to the community. The family’s immigration lawyer is waiting for their case to enter the immigration court system, allowing them to seek relief from removal. The couple’s arrest is part of the Trump administration’s nationwide effort to detain undocumented immigrants, with an increase in detainees without criminal convictions. The story highlights the challenges faced by immigrants navigating the US immigration system and the impact on families and communities.
