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.
Exactly my Thoughts!
Big Head Fake,,,
Then Bam, Gotch Ya!
The Unions could give a damn. All they really care about is dues. I did a job at a rather large national union and they had to developer a special algorithm to handle multiple members using the same social security number in order to keep track properly of their contributions to the retirement fund. I was ludicrous we had as many as 20+ people using the same ss#. BTW I quit that job before anyone decides to give me a bunch of crap.
Ha, ha. Boo hoo. No uncertainty to it. Here illegally, break the law, keep looking over your shoulder. Someday someone will wake up and you’ll be had.
I’d like to see INS deport at least one million illegals before the end of the year. As nice as deporting 10 million this year sounds, I imagine if INS gets serious and sends a million of those criminals home, all of the rest will follow on their own.
One way or the other, they all need to go home. No exceptions.

we need to get this phone # and call them repeatedly...
and HEY! where do they get their funding???
The announcement then delay is a negotiating tactic in the contest with the House. There is not the manpower to do the sweeps without using the military to go through neighborhoods and that is all forbidden by Posse Comitatus.
“On them” is the rear and uncertainity the lefties decry. Illegal aliens, or for that matter, any criminals should not have to suffer the trauma of Fear and Uncertainty.
“The Trump illegal roundup offers a perfect opportunity to level turnout and perhaps return congressional districts. In key congressional district organiize a team to check the precinct list of registered voters where these people resided. If they’re on that list, Federal crime, charge them and those that enabled this to happen
Delay gives pervocrats time to clean up voter lists and remove illegals names from. Election fraud is what also should be looked at before kicking them out”
MAGA!!!! PING!
Until we threaten to take all their assets if found to be here illegally, they will not leave.
If we DO threaten that, they will leave in their (leased) Escalades..
I am so angry that mayors are sheltering illegals
Just ONCE, I'd love to see any mayor pulling this crap be arrested by U.S. Marshals for sedition, or whatever. Then watch the rest of those like-minded bozos fold like a card table.
I’m in favor of keeping illegal families together. Just make the holes in the ground large enough to accomodate their request.

Posse Comitatus is applicable to citizens, not invaders.
I don’t get why he delayed it - I couldn’t find a reason. Can someone help? Thanks.
This is just the beginning of huge deportations.
My only fear is we won’t ever get the enforcement.
What deal can be made?
These are people who have court orders to leave or be removed.
Go raid Chobani. Their yogurt tastes horrible and they hire Somalis.
