BEAN STATION, Tenn. (WATE) - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation Division and the Tennessee Highway Patrol were all on hand at Southeastern Provision for a federal criminal search warrant execution that lead to an immigration investigation.

...

"During that search, HSI encountered individuals who may be subject to removal from the United States. Those individuals who are determined to be subject to removal will be administratively arrested and placed in removal proceedings, we cannot release specifics on the arrests, " said ICE Public Affairs Officer Tammy Spicer.

Dozens of families stood across the street from the National Guard Armory in Morristown on Thursday. They were told their loved ones were brought there after the raid. Some waited for hours to see if their loved ones were going to be released. Maria and Michelle Farias hoped to see their cousin walk out.

"It's really frustrating for us because one of our family members are going to be detained or may be even deported, so it's been hard on our families," said Maria Farias.

WATE 6 On Your Side found out not many were escorted outside the National Guard Armory. Isabel Zelaya was one of the few. He works at the meat packing plant and reunited with his family. They stuck around to wait for more than 10 other loved ones.

St. Patrick Catholic Church in Morristown posted to Facebook on Thursday evening that any family that didn't feel safe staying in their homes could come to the parish center.

...

"I don't think it's fair. I don't think it's fair because it's not something bad that these people are doing and now they are being separated from their families," said Veronica Galvan

When I lived in Garden City, KS. the local cops came on a young girl, just a child, who was drunk. They found out she had got that way at a local Hispanic club.

Later the Feds raided it and arrested 131 illegals. This was around 1986.

It's really frustrating for us too, Maria, what with one of your relatives illegally occupying our country.

Wait, the local news channel is on the side of illegal aliens and their employers against the citizens and the rule of law?

Kick out all illegal alien invaders...and their families (we wouldn't want to "separate" them, would we?). Seize their ill gotten assets to help defray the costs. Get OUT and stay out!

WATE calls itself “On Your Side”.
Notice the very liberal slant on the story.
They are more concerned about illegals
than they are about the jobs these illegals
have taken.
WATE is NOT on my side.

Are you
posting
from a
phone?

Just curios as I see quite a few posts with lots of line breaks. I assume it’s a phone with a small screen and that you’re not actually hitting enter every 4-6 words. (regardless of screen size)

I guess some devices or apps just put in line breaks.

Other than that, I agree.

Actually it is a writing preference.
Not a device issue.

Please feel free to file a complaint
with the owner if it offends you.

Although, I doubt he will pay much
attention to someone who has only
been a member for a little over a year.
