Liri Albag, an IDF soldier who was held hostage for over a year, was taken captive by U.S. authorities when she arrived at New York's JFK Airport for a vacation because their systems indicated still listed her as a hostage.
Albag, 19, was released last January along with three female IDF soldiers who were held in captivity by Hamas.
Albag was permitted to contact her family who promptly alerted Israeli officials. She was allowed to proceed with her vacation an hour later.
How could our systems indicate Albag was still a hostage when she was freed four months ago?
If Albag was still listed as a hostage, then how many other of the living hostages might face similar problems should they see fit to visit this country?
Our government essentially made Liri Albag a hostage all over again out of sheer incompetence. But what else can you expect of a Trump Administration whose immigration enforcement agency arrests U.S. citizens?
I wonder if this country can survive the idiots who run it. Then again, we're the idiots who put them there in the first place. This is the government we wanted and now we're getting it.
