It may not yet be the mass deportation that activists have been warning about.
But it appears inevitable that many more undocumented immigrants will be swept up by the Trump administration’s more aggressive enforcement.
The groups at risk of deportation have been expanded dramatically by President Donald Trump’s Jan. 25 executive orders and the enforcement memos issued last week by the Department of Homeland Security.
In addition to targeting undocumented immigrants convicted of serious crimes – a perfectly appropriate step and the focus during most of the Obama years – federal agents will prioritize people guilty of any crime and those who have abused public benefits. They also have the leeway to detain those who have merely been charged with a crime, or have done something for which they could be charged. Agents also have been instructed to arrest and start deportation proceedings against any undocumented immigrant they encounter.
And if Congress approves the money – an estimated $4.8 billion a year – there will be 10,000 more Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents and 5,000 more at Customs and Border Protection. This looks suspiciously like the “deportation force” the White House has insisted it won’t create. It certainly is a significant expansion of government.
To make America safer, it is perfectly sensible to arrest and deport dangerous felons – the “bad dudes” Trump loves to talk about. There are instances of terrible crimes by undocumented immigrants. Luis Bracamontes is accused of murdering Sacramento sheriff’s Deputy Danny Oliver and Placer sheriff’s Detective Michael Davis Jr. in 2014. An undocumented immigrant is charged with shooting 32-year-old Kathryn Steinle to death as she walked with her father on the Embarcadero in San Francisco in 2015....

Let us pray.
(BTW, the Fresno Bee is in the bag for agri-bus.)
I certainly hope that he is.
The Bee ‘journalists’ saw a large number of cattle cars on the sidings at some nearby marshaling yards and concluded the deportations are about to begin.
If you have an illegal alien problem, if no one else can help, maybe you can call ... the deportation force.
ALL illegal aliens are subject to removal.
ALL illegal aliens ARE committing additional crimes DAILY to remain here.
Illegal employment.
Fraudulent documents.
Collecting benefits illegally.
We should not have to wait until illegal aliens harm or kill Americans before they are removed.
Not mass deportations.
Internment camps, with no intention of actually filling them with more than a token few. When the “undocumented” transients are offered the choice, go back home or be detained until your status is clarified (which may take YEARS), a goodly portion will quickly opt for self-deportation.
I know, there would be an immediate outcry and suits would be brought to close the internment camps, but these were already being put in place for US citizens that did not have an undying love for the New Social Order that was to be imposed under the continuing Obama Doctrines.
Shame to let them go to waste.
Why yes, yes he is.
All illegals should be packing and making travel arrangements.
It might not be legal to deport all liberals, but you can get them by deporting everybody from seven states (as long as you pick the states carefully).
Hispanic "Dreamers" express their gratitude to Americans.
ICE should make “Sí, se puede” their official motto LOL.
The Fresno Bee a McClatchy paper has always been a piece of trash
Please, let it be!
Raids on illegal Chinese in Mississippi.
All 55 were undocumented.
Those detained Wednesday are in ICE custody but Byrd would not give their exact location. He said each of the detained “should have already been afforded the opportunity to speak with a lawyer.”
The majority of restaurants affected were part of the Ichiban chain of Chinese restaurants, Byrd said. The raids occurred in Jackson, Flowood, Pearl and Meridian. A China Buffett in Pearl was also a target of the search warrants.
First thing. These criminals need to be deported.
Second thing. Why in the hell do we have to pay for it? They were hired by companies here in the USA, so raid those places and make them pay for it...ALL OF IT.
As for those here collecting benefits from our system and not working. OUTTA HERE! Mind you all..your state welfare most likely bought them a lot of goodies while they were here.
Those attending the colleges here as illegals? Maybe the colleges should get to pay for the deportation through a reduction in their government grants.
How does this lie hurt us, exactly? We want the criminals to fear the law. Leftists are doing our job...a job...for once.
There is no need for mass deportation; just take away free schools, welfare and jobs. Illegal aliens will do the work of going home themselves. Whatever is left can be easily cleaned up by ICE and Border Patrol. Let them prattle on about mass deportations while Trump fixes the problem.
