Still Waiting

I never know who I may run into while I'm in immigration detention. When I was on my way to the exercise yard this afternoon, I saw a Vietnamese detainee who was in prison with me. When I left prison two years ago, he was anticipating his immigration detention since he was not a U.S. citizen. He couldn't believe that I'm still locked up.

Well, he's better off than my current situation since Vietnamese detainees are not deportable. He'll be home with his family after 90 days or 180 days.

Me, I'm still waiting.
