Default Write a letter

TL/DR:
Husband from Cameroon facing deportation. Wife writes letter to Obama. Special people show up at their door and arrest husband. Husband now wearing a tracking bracelet until they figure out what to do with him.

She's mixed race?? Well obviously...ahem. She's as white as my taint.

But anyway, we all know most government processes and procedures work most of the time, not all the time. Not shocking, but too bad the system wasn't able to resolve things sooner.

Dear Sirs,

I robbed the bank on the corner of 5th street and 9 and I'd like to say that the candy they have for the kiddies has gotten stale. You need to change it out for something newer.

Yours truly,
Dickwad Jones


OF COURSE THEY ARRESTED HIM! They admitted to a crime! Telling someone you're a crook isn't protected under your freedom of speech rights. You'd need freedom from stupidity rights to protect you from that.
