Marshallese people living in Northwest Arkansas reportedly detained by ICE

According to Sarah Moore with the Arkansas Justice Reform Coalition (AJRC), 21 men born in the Marshall Islands but living in Arkansas, some for up to 20 years, are in ICE custody because of Washington County's involvement in the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP).

I'm a marshallese. There are consequences you will face if you dont obey the law here in United States.

I thought they were able to freely come and go as they please period I thought they were part of the United States because of a compact that they made for them. Testing atomic bomb on their island.?

[@somebodywhocares9293]

The sacrifice the marshallese people took also agreed to
Allow the united states for nuclear testings. Which also helped end world wars. They have suffered much. America owes it to them to be fair. Bcos they were fair to americans in their country.
Riches people in the Marshall islands are americans.

So anyone who met the criteria would get the same treatment? Criminal misdemeanor or a felony? Deportation is possible? Well. Is it apply equal or not? Just asking.
