If DHS had an immigration checkpoint around here I’d bring them doughnuts!
5:20 p.m. update: U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, has confirmed what many on social media throughout Texas have suspected: Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are conducting sweeping raids and arrests across the country.
I have been informed by ICE that the agencys San Antonio field office has launched a targeted operation in South and Central Texas as part of Operation Cross Check, Castro said in a statement. I am asking ICE to clarify whether these individuals are in fact dangerous, violent threats to our communities, and not people who are here peacefully raising families and contributing to our state. I will continue to monitor this situation.
