‘Why do this? Who was she hurting?’ Scholarship nurse here since she was 8 snatched by ICE, jailed in hell for 6 months, booted from country

Allison Bustillo-Chinchilla (20) was brought by her mother from Honduras to the United States when she was just eight years old. In ordinary times, she’d be considered an uplifting immigration success story: she graduated from Crest High School in Shelby, North Carolina, and was considered such a promising student that she was awarded a scholarship to attend Gardner-Webb University to train as a nurse.

Then Donald Trump returned to power and ICE arrived to crush her selfless dream. In February, ICE agents burst into their home and dragged her and her terrified family to a hellish detention camp. Her mother and brother were released to care for her younger siblings, but Bustillo-Chinchilla was consigned to Georgia’s Stewart Detention Center.

This place sounds like hell on Earth. Reports from those inside claim inmates are fed filthy, unsanitary food resulting in widespread food poisoning, the cramped cells are riddled with mold, there have been multiple sexual abuse allegations against staff, and a spate of inmate suicides.

Promising young nurse Bustillo-Chinchilla spent six unimaginable months enduring this torture before giving up any hope of a life within the United States, withdrawing her asylum petition, and being placed on a flight to Honduras (a country she hasn’t lived in since she was eight years old).

“She was stealing the birthright of a White child”

As many on X are wondering: “Why do this? Who was she hurting?”:

So this woman is brought to the US when she's eight years old, becomes a scholarship university student to become a nurse… and is then seized by ICE, and kept in harsh captivity for six months – which wouldn't happen to most actual criminals.

The answer to this question is “she was hurting nobody” and was primed to make a decades-long positive contribution to her community through working as a nurse. But if we want a peek into the reasoning from the racist scum who support her treatment, look no further than the comment: “She was stealing the birthright of a White child. Who cares who she was hurting?“

A little more reading tells you more about the MAGA mindset: “Non-Whites are not American” and “This country should be ethnically cleansed”. These sentiments are likely to get louder once Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and their ICE Gestapo run out of “illegals” to brutalize and move onto anyone who doesn’t pass the brown paper bag test.

But let’s not get caught up in that and focus on the specifics. The government kidnapped a promising young nursing student, imprisoned her in a hellish torture camp until her mind broke, and will now dump her overseas. Perhaps this nation could have used a kind nurse? I guess we’ll never know.
