Now-delayed nationwide immigration sweep brings anxiety, fear in Minnesota

In the Twin Cities, officials and immigrant advocates say they are hearing concerns over news of planned nationwide raids to deport immigrants living in the U.S. illegally. The operation, according to President Donald Trump's tweets, involves people with final orders of removal. They were expected to start Sunday, but the president announced Saturday that he'd asked Immigration and Customs Enforcement to delay it by two weeks.

"It's been a lot of fear and uncertainty," said Kerry McGuire, a staff attorney at the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota.

McGuire said her organization, as well as other nonprofits, noted an uptick in phone calls to attorneys this week.

"I think just hearing that something is going to be stepped up puts everyone on alert," she said. "It's hard for us as service providers because we are also trying to anticipate what is going to happen."

The headlines about the raids being carried out in 10 major U.S. cities have added uncertainty to what's to come.

"Minneapolis has not been on any of the lists that will be receiving ICE raids," Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said Saturday afternoon.

Responding to the news that the raids had been delayed, Frey reinforced that the police department won't help in any ICE-related activity.

"We're going to make sure our police and our public officials are not sharing any information, they are not collaborating, they are not working with ICE," Frey said. St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter took a similar stance, tweeting early Saturday afternoon that the police department "will not cooperate nor facilitate any such action."

In response to the calls, the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota will open a help hotline on Monday afternoon.

Well, Boo Friken' Hoo.

My fear is that they won't get them all.

That, is scary.

These surplus lawyers, who couldn’t get a real law firm to hire them, count on the foreign squatters for their pay checks. No illegals, no need for these whining justice warriors to exist.

We should demand that these illegal immigrants be allowed in all unions (Teachers Unions,Construction, Loading Docks,etc) and especially be in charge of these unions as union bosses. Many of these "Guests" ran similar groups. Some would call those "Cartels", but let's just stick with the "Union" label.

These unions would build that wall quickly if that was even thought of doing.

“How is there “fear and uncertainty”?”

Exactly.

From the article...

“”Minneapolis has not been on any of the lists that will be receiving ICE raids,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said Saturday afternoon.”

"...our police and our public officials are not sharing any information, they are not collaborating, they are not working with ICE" -- Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey

I wish there was a way to Frey his ass good. I am so angry that mayors are sheltering illegals, especially those who have been ordered to deport. Isn't harboring such illegals against the law?

Catch them unawares and witness Pelosi’s head explode.

"It's been a lot of fear and uncertainty,"

Trump is a master at Shaping Operations and Mental Ju Jitsu.

The Real Deal: My Decade Fighting Battles and Winning Wars with Trump
by George A. Sorial, Damian Bate

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat easy read. You get to see the real side of a person/president
June 23, 2019
Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I enjoyed the book, very insightful on how the trump organization operated. The author really had a positive view of Mr. Trump the man who truely gave people opportunity to thrive. He believed in transference of your qualities. Very genuine and open look at the president’s qualities. Easy read..

I am reading the book now...

Trump must have one of those never forget anything memories

The author tells about going around the golf course ..Trumps wants tinking changed for next winter season

The guy writes everything down as they go.., Trump wites nothing down and a few months later calls and goes thru the list..the author life is also pretty amazing

Not to worry dear illegals. You’ve got a friend in DHS - none other than Kevin McAleenan.

If anything is going down you’ll be the first to get a ‘heads up’.

Like the anxiety of any other criminal, the fear of getting caught.

Next time there is a raid DONT SAY IT, JUST DO IT..the thing is, President Trump also tweeted out days ago that this weekend illegals would be deported so he sorta leaked out the info too, to a lesser extent but he still did it..NEVER EVER say you are gonna do a raid, just do it and say after wards it was done
