Congressional Hispanic Caucus requests meeting with ICE officials after raids

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus is requesting a meeting with U.S. Immigration and Customs and Enforcement (ICE) officials over recent raids on undocumented immigrants.

Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-N.M.), who chairs the caucus, sent a letter to ICE asking for “an open and candid discussion” on the enforcement changes, saying the raids "have struck fear in the hearts of the immigrant community.”

“It is critical that we meet with you in person immediately to discuss the impact these raids have had on our communities as well as obtain clarifying guidance on how ICE policies will differ from the last Administration,” the letter reads.

Democratic Reps. Zoe Lofgren (Calif.), Lucille Roybal-Allard (Calif.), John Conyers (Mich.), Luis Gutierrez (Ill.) and Judy Chu (Calif.) also signed the letter calling for a meeting by Wednesday.

The letter stated that congressional offices had contacted ICE and the Department of Homeland Security about the recent raids in California, but has yet to year back about the enforcement.

A report on Friday said more than 300 undocumented immigrants had been arrested in Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta and Chicago in raids this week.

An ICE official in the Los Angeles office called the raid an “enforcement surge,” but maintained that they were routine.

Trump last month signed an executive order on immigration that ended the “catch and release” policy that allowed people who crossed the border to return to Mexico without being detained.

ICE should send them a progress report every week or so.

Real Americans don't give a rusty nail anymore. Mexico should be informed that We The People are now in control.

It makes no difference that libtards are making the news, that their crying and whining is broadcast across the world.

We stand with President Trump and President Trump stands with us.

Learn it Mexico. We can make it easy, or we can make it hard for you, but we are sick and tired of paying for The failure of the Mexican Government.

Immigrants are part of a procedural system which demands petitioners meet standards to gain citizenship.

Illegal Aliens are foreign national interlopers cutting the line and demanding special dispensations without merit.

Illegal Immigrant is a leftist term used to create a plausible impression of a person deserving of a break even though they de facto are law breakers with the first step onto U.S. soil. And that's often just their first step.

> Over 75% of illegals recently rounded up had committed felonies.

And that's the ones they need to go after plus the identity thieves and welfare system abusers. Those that are obeying the law and have established families over here can probably be put into a program to get them legalized. We don't want to send the wrong message to the Hispanic community; that we don't care about breaking up their families because that's not true. At the same time they've got to realize they made the decision to come into America across the border illegally. They sure wouldn't let Americans into Mexico illegally. In fact, they would throw them in jail and it wouldn't be the nice ones like we have over here.

No change whatsoever. Just a return to the rule of law as both W. Bush and Clinton practiced it.

Maybe just a little bit more...

Caucus: Hey, listen mister - you work for us!

ICE: We shall see.

“”It is critical that we meet with you in person immediately to discuss the impact these raids have had on our communities as well as obtain clarifying guidance on how ICE policies will differ from the last Administration””

Take it up with President Trump. Is Debbie Wasserman Schultz now Hispanic or why is she in the picture? Just another trouble maker, I guess!

Did Conyers get lost on the way to the Congressional Black Caucus meeting?

Illegal aliens should be deported.

Period.

No matter who they are or where they are from.

Period.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Well and truly said. Those who voted for Trump did so because they want all law enforcement to apprehend anyone and everyone who violates the law. No exceptions.

The Democrats are upset.

Their voter base is being deported.

How will they ever win another election?

And the CHC is letting the Democrat Marxists sign a letter about this demanded meeting.

Conyers - (D-Mich). The oldest Communist Party supporter in the Congress (since at least 1964 if not before in the CPUSA controlled Local 600 UAW in the 50’s.)

Rep. Judy Chu (D-Ca) avowed supporter of Red China and former leader of the maoist Communist Workers Party

Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill). Several books report that he was a member of the Puerto Rican Socialist Party, a Marxist Castro-linked enemy of America, and a supporter of the deadly Castro-trained FALN terrorist group - Fraunces Tavern bombing, for one, attacks on US servicemen in Puerto Rico and attacks on the police/police stations.

Yet, CHC, you’ve got some really good supporters if you like commies.

Yep...Conyers, Chu, and Gutierrez are not worth spit. Them and the CHC are birds of a feather.
