They say a roundup in Southern California was especially heavy-handed and cite arrests in places such as Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Texas and North Carolina that have rattled immigrants.
The government says it's simply enforcing the laws and conducting routine enforcement targeting immigrants in the country illegally with criminal records. Authorities say it's no different than what happened during the Obama years on a regular basis.

but were found to be 'too inconvenient' to the ideology of the previous administration .

The president’s job is to enforce the law. The fact that Obama neglected the law doesn’t make enforcing the law an unusual thing.

So even the AP admits that only 5 out of 160 arrests wouldn’t have occurred under Obama’s orders.

“kind of hobbled” (under Obama)
Yeah, I would say BP being ordered to act as nannies for illegal children wasn’t what they signed up for.
AP truth check. What a joke.
Go get ‘em boys!

I am looking for travel to the border that looks like the ‘Grapes Of Wrath.’ Then we can know deportation has begun.

I LOVE how Trump is ramping ICE up BIG TIME, while telling Democrats and the media “hey...chill out. It’s no big deal.”
