U.S. immigration authorities launched a series of raids, traffic stops and checkpoints in at least half a dozen states across the country on Thursday and Friday, sweeping up an unknown number of undocumented immigrants, immigration lawyers and advocates said.

The raids, which appeared to target scores of undocumented immigrants, including those without criminal records, mark the first largescale episode of immigration enforcement inside the United States since President Trump’s Jan. 26 order to crack down on the estimated 11 million immigrants living here illegally.

immigration lawyers virtually all of whom are being paid with public funds. While it could be argued that a US citizen has a right to a government paid lawyer, it is absurd to suggest that our Constitution means we have to pay for foreigners to be represented in Court.

This must END !

“Sweeping,” as in rooting out the criminal elements. Trump has been clear to say our efforts would be focused on bad characters. Don’t expect the press to make that distinction.

Correct, those criminals will be picked up as e-verify assures self deportation for millions more who are no longer able to work illegally. Hopefully draconian measures against employers who illegally employ foreigners will help convince even more to head home.

Is this an important news story? I mean is this a change from the last 8 years and due to the new POTUS?

Methinks THIS is Trump’s answer to the 9th Circus: massive immigration enforcement. Good. That’ll solve a large part of the problem.

Oh, are you saying these swept up in the raids will get their day in court first? Crap. I guess that takes months and in the meantime they get to stay?
