House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids conducted in Oakland and San Franciso “a shocking abuse of law enforcement power” Wednesday.
“Yet again, the White House has reached into our communities to indiscriminately detain scores of hard-working, law-abiding immigrants,” she said in a statement.
“Fully half of those swept up in the ICE raids have no criminal record,” Pelosi claimed. “This raid was intended solely to terrorize innocent immigrant families and instill fear in the hearts of our communities – not to keep Americans safe. Parents will now be torn from their children, and spouses ripped away from their loved ones.”
She referenced the fact that both Oakland and San Francisco are “sanctuary cities.”
“The Administration continues to brazenly target the cities that refuse to bow to its blatantly bigoted anti-immigrant and mass deportation agenda,” she wrote. “The people of the San Francisco Bay Area will continue to oppose these cowardly attacks, and we will remain open to the patriotic immigrants who are the constant reinvigoration of America.”
Libby Schaaf, the Democratic mayor of Oakland, warned residents that “multiple credible sources” had told her there would be ICE raids. Her remarks drew criticism from ICE Acting Director Thomas Homan.
Almost half of the arrests targeted criminal illegal aliens, including those with convictions for assault and battery, weapons charges, and crimes against children.
"The Oakland mayor’s decision to publicize her suspicions about ICE operations further increased that risk for my officers and alerted criminal aliens — making clear that this reckless decision was based on her political agenda,” Homan said in a statement Tuesday. “Unlike the politicians who attempt to undermine ICE’s critical mission, our officers will continue to fulfill their sworn duty to protect public safety.”
He added that 864 “criminal aliens and public safety threats remain at large in the community, and I have to believe that some of them were able to elude us thanks to the mayor’s irresponsible decision.”
“I’ll say this to the mayor and every other politician that wants to vilify the men and women of ICE: We’re not going away, we’re going to keep enforcing the law,” Homan said.
“The shocking abuse of power was the Kenyanesian Usurpation which she enabled by filing false documents attesting to Obama’s eligibility.”
BTTT
Innocent? Innocent of what?
She said immigrants....not ILLEGAL
immigrant alien invaders...
She said immigrants....not ILLEGAL
immigrant alien invaders...
.. that was very nicely put!
Of Nancy Pelosi, I'd ask only three questions:
1. What percentage of those “swept up" [Ha! She unconsciously equates them with refuse] during the eight years of Obama's reign had no criminal record?p>
2. Were any of those deported during the eight years of Obama's reign parents "torn from their children, and spouses ripped away from their loved ones”?p>
3. Did any of the ICE raids during the eight years of Obama's reign "target the cities that refuse[d] to bow to its 'blatantly bigoted anti-immigrant and mass' deportation agenda"?p>
p>
The answers to these questions would answer any other questions I might have about the value of her statements.
Sorry, phone is slow tonight...double
taps aren’t good for the victims...
Did Pelosi call the FBI raid of the Branch Davidians in Waco, “a shocking abuse of law enforcement power”?
In related news, peaceful robbers break into homes, and should not be disturbed as they relax on the homeowners’ couches eating the homeowners’ pizza and watching Netflix.
Yeah exactly!!! It’s ridiculous.
How dare they enforce the law!
Here’s hoping they start enforcing it on your sorry asses too. Starting with the Clintons.
oh yah? “Fully half of those swept up in the ICE raids have no criminal record,”???
Then why were they picked up, dummy? There must have been a warrent, right?
#26 - great questions.
Pelosi tenure is a shocking abuse of legislative power.
Maybe ICE should pay an unannounced visit to the Pelosi vinyards and restaurants to do a compliance check...
Does ‘shocking abuse of Federal Law’ mean anything to you, PelosiIdiot?
Now make the same statement for California State Labor Board running stings to catch unlicensed contractors in the dangerous act of bidding to paint a couple of bedrooms.
Story from this morning’s TV news:
Guy get’s hit by a hit and run driver a couple of weeks ago. The car and resulting scream as victim is hit is captured on video.
Yesterday the perp parks RIGHT IN FRONT of the victim’s home(victim now recovering with a rod in his broken leg). Victim calls the cops who arrest the perp.
Big surprise - the perp with hispanic name has no insurance and is using a stolen Social Security number. It’s so nice living in a sanctuary state!
