Godfrey Wade of Covington, Kentucky, served 8 years in the US army with deployments across 4 continents and received medals for his stellar conduct. But that didn't matter one bit when Trump's goons pulled him over for failing to use a turn signal, arrested him, and then threw him in a concentration camp for months in horrendous conditions.
"He wasn't born in this country, and still, he loves this country enough that he signed up to serve it," said his fiancee, April Watkins. "Fifty years later, when he needs this country, this country is turning its back on him." He arrived in the US when he was 15 years old from Jamaica and is in the process of trying to get his citizenship, but his family stresses that it’s extremely expensive and very difficult.
Demand ICE free Godfrey Wade ASAP!
Wade has detailed horrendous living conditions in the CoreCivic-run gulag. "We don't have any bunk space," said Wade to the media. "We're given what we call boats, and those are placed on the floor with a two-inch mat." He also said there are only two working urinals for his entire pod of 80 people. "There's sewage water flowing on the ground," he said.
After his honorable discharge, Wade built a wide-ranging career and earned multiple college degrees. He's worked as a master tailor, fashion designer, tennis coach, and chef. He was working at the Georgia Capitol Café before he was detained.
This hard-working man is the epitome of the American dream and the ideal immigrant. It is a travesty that he's been locked up and abused for so long and must be freed immediately.
Demand ICE free the decorated veteran they've kept in their gulag for three months!
