Podcast: Family of Chatham man detained by ICE agents in the US are desperate to reunite him with his wife and children

from KentOnline · host Nicola Everett, KentOnline

The family of a Chatham man who's been detained by immigration agents in the US say they're desperate to reunite him with his wife and twin sons. 29-year-old Connor Read was in the process of applying for a green card when he was taken to an ICE detention centre. It's understood a removal order had been activated because he didn't have the correct visa. Reporter Joe Crossley has been speaking to his wife Jaelin. Also in today's podcast, a Chatham man who stabbed another man after a row over a 10 pound phone debt has been found guilty of murder... Mark Jesse, 51, attacked his victim at the home they shared in Castle Road last November. Hear the moment he was arrested. A campaigner from Kent who's worked with hundreds of young people says most of them will welcome the social media ban for under-16s. The Prime Minister's confirmed new restrictions will come into force from next year. We've been speaking to Isabelle Default from the Portrait Theatre in Canterbury who created a play called Generation FOMO. A traveller's told today's episode his family will be forced to pitch up on playing fields after their plans for static homes were refused. They had asked for permission to put eight properties and day rooms on land they bought on White Post Lane near Sole Street last year. It was refused by Gravesham council and again by the planning inspector following an appeal. And, a cricketer from Kent is due to make his debut for England this week against New Zealand. Jordan Cox has been included in the side for the second Test at The Oval which starts tomorrow. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
