John Grisham Quote
Washington, D.C., to see her family one last time before they are deported back to Senegal. Now we’re told she can’t see them because of paperwork. The ICE boys looked at the three clerks. The first one said, You know the rules. No visitors until they have been processed. Gibson looked back at Mark and said, Well, there you have it. Rules are rules. Can I see the supervisor? Mark demanded. You can stop yelling, that’s what you can do. He took a step closer, eager for a physical confrontation. Two more agents ventured over to back up their buddies. Just let me talk to the supervisor, Mark said. I don’t like your attitude, Gibson said. And I don’t like yours. Why is attitude important here? What’s wrong with allowing my client to see her family? Hell, they’re being deported. She may never see them again. If they’re being deported it’s because a judge said so.
