Underground network readies homes to hide undocumented immigrants
cnn ^ | February 27, 2017 | Kyung Lah, Alberto Moya and Mallory Simon

A hammer pounds away in the living room of a middle class home. A sanding machine smoothes the grain of the wood floor in the dining room.

But this home Pastor Ada Valiente is showing off in Los Angeles, with its refurbished floors, is no ordinary home. "It would be three families we host here," Valiente says. By "host," she means provide refuge to people who may be sought by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE. The families staying here would be undocumented immigrants, fearing an ICE raid and possible deportation. The purchase of this home is part of a network formed by Los Angeles religious leaders across faiths in the wake of Donald Trump's election. The intent is to shelter hundreds, possibly thousands of undocumented people in safe houses across Southern California.

The goal is to offer another sanctuary beyond religious buildings or schools, ones that require federal authorities to obtain warrants before entering the homes. "That's what we need to do as a community to keep families together," Valiente says. At another Los Angeles neighborhood miles away, a Jewish man shows off a sparsely decorated spare bedroom in his home. White sheets on the bed and the clean, adjacent full bathroom bear all the markers of an impending visit. The man, who asked not to be identified, pictures an undocumented woman and her children who may find refuge in his home someday.

Interesting how they encourage rallies with thousands of people holding signs that say “undocumented and unafraid “while at the same time they are digging underground tunnels.

Something else going on with those tunnels?

Just wait until these "safe houses" start appearing in Malibu and in 90210.The likes of Babs Streisand will surely welcome them with open arms,just as Mrs Drysdale welcomed the Clampetts.

An ICE SWAT Team should be enroute to clean that nest out. Probably dozens, if not hundreds more, all over the country.

Illegals, NEVER FLY YOUR MEXICAN FLAG HERE AGAIN if it’s so odious there you won’t go back.

One place the Feds should get involved is the damn schools. Maybe we can have a federal order to check documentation to get into our expensive (though often useless) public schools. Because CA never will.

I don’t believe we should be forced to educate children of illegal aliens. They used to check immigration status. We can do it again.

t is a violation of law for any person to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection in any place, including any building or means of transportation, any alien who is in the United States in violation of law. HARBORING MEANS ANY CONDUCT THAT TENDS TO SUBSTANTIALLY FACILITATE AN ALIEN TO REMAIN IN THE U.S. ILLEGALLY. The sheltering need not be clandestine, and harboring covers aliens arrested outdoors, as well as in a building. This provision includes harboring an alien who entered the U.S. legally but has since lost his legal status.

Someone needs to tell them they’d be committing multiple felonies.

It may end well, but only after a number of incidents like that warehouse fire in Oakland, many deaths, much maiming and lives destroyed.
