Man arrested after wife writes to Obama asking for help
http://edition.cnn.com/2010/US/06/21...r.immigration/
Not everyone expects a response when they write a letter to the president of the United States. But Caroline Jamieson got much more than she expected when her husband ended up in jail and afraid he would be deported.
....
They never received a direct response to the letter. But they did get two Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers waiting outside their East Village, Manhattan apartment on June 3 when Takoulo was leaving the apartment to go to the gym.
While this is obviously an extreme case AND we don't hear nearly as much squawking about "too long!" as we used to (that inevitably lead to "I'm a-gonna write me a letter!") it's a good cautionary tale.
