Massachusetts state Rep. Michelle DuBois posted a warning to illegal immigrants on her Facebook page Tuesday about upcoming Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids that are rumored to be taking place in the area.
In the post, DuBois wrote, ICE raid in Brockton (MA) on 3/28.

Does this thing go to jail?
If the Rep actually lived in Brockton they would find jail a major improvement. :-)
Brockton has to be one of the most awful places on the planet.
Seems to me that anyone in her district would have standing to place her under citizen’s arrest. Aiding and abetting a Criminal activity.
Further down in the article she was called out by the sheriff who was today testifying on capitol hill. And she was called out by a party official.

“It completely undermines law enforcement,” Sheriff tells House Subcommittee about Brockton politician who tipped illegals off to ICE raid.

From article
Attempts to contact Rep. DuBois at the phone number listed on her office website instead redirected to the Massachusetts House Committee on Children and Family, where a staffer told The Daily Caller DuBois did not come into the office on Tuesday.
DuBois did supply TheDC with a lengthy statement via email:
It is obvious that my Facebook post touched off a lot of unintended controversy.
I am an elected State Representative and the response to one facebook post has caused people from across the Nation to inundate my facebook page with some pretty ugly and threatening posts. If this is what happens to an elected representative what must be happening to immigrants every day in our Nation, both documented and not documented.
I posted on my personal and public facebook page about a rumor about an ICE raid happening on two future dates. I had heard this rumor from several immigrants in the community.
There are many people in Brockton (documented and not) as well as people across this Nation who are terrified. This rumor of an ICE raid in Brockton was wide-spread in Brockton. There have been many ICE raids in the City.
Passing information along that is already all-over the community, not only lets the people I represent know what is happening, it lets ICE know that everyone in Brockton is aware of ICEs planned raid (if there was one).
Having ICE know that this rumor is wide-spread in Brockton allows them to change the date if they feel the publics knowledge of the raid would undermine their planned raid. So I do not agree with Sheriff Hodgson on his point that he made before a federal panel in WashingtonDC that my public facebook post in anyway undermines law enforcement.
article continues:
Massachusetts Republican Party Chairman Kirsten Hughes told TheDC, Rep. DuBois has demonstrated a complete disregard for her constituents safety, and she should be ashamed of these reckless comments.
Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Bakers office did not immediately return requests for comment on DuBois posts.
if this is not ‘aiding and abetting’ illegal aliens to commit crimes I don’t know what is...
This is actually a felony under FederalvLaw. 5 year maximum sentence.
Federal Immigration and Nationality Act
Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii)

That’s like the local sheriff notifying the dealers that a drug bust is going down.
That’s like the local sheriff notifying the dealers that a drug bust is going down.
Harboring — Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(iii) makes it an offense for any person who — knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation.

Tell her ICE is conducting undercover operations at every food stamp, welfare, and unemployment office in the state
Heck, I might have to prognosticate a raid every time I need to go to Home Depot or Loew’s.
B*tch should be put in jail for that. Aiding and abetting crinimals.
If you actually have inside information that it is going to happen, I suspect there are criminal charges waiting.
I was wondering what would happen if people ran hoaxes to the same effect. What would happen if you just sent out tweets and Facebook pages like “Lookout ! ICE is going to raid all restaurants in xxxx city on 3/28 !”
If it happened often enough, nobody would know when it was real and when it was a hoax. Business owners would not only know who their illegals were, if they didn’t already, but they would stop knowingly hiring illegals because they would never be able to rely on work shifts.
Well if you thought you heard something and it never happens how is that someone’s fault criminally unless they are doing that on purpose?

“if this is not aiding and abetting illegal aliens to commit crimes I dont know what is...”
Of course it is.
“Brockton has to be one of the most awful places on the planet”
Is that because it’s full of illegal aliens?
