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.

Easy. This administration is going to enforce the law.

Are the Hispanic advocacy groups read to negotiate with Trump yet? Or does he have to apply a little more pressure?

Isn’t having a caucus by race in itself racist?

Illegal aliens should be deported.

Period.

No matter who they are or where they are from.

Period.

The “Hispanic Caucus” should discuss the fears of illegals....with illegals - not ICE.

Explain the law, explain deportation, explain how to immigrate legally.

It’s not up to ICE to babysit invaders.

Gee, I thought that elected officials were supposed to serve the voters. But then again, if we have illegal aliens voting, I guess that this figures, right?

“have struck fear in the hearts of the immigrant community.”

Well they have absolutely nothing to worry about unless you mean illegal immigrant. Is that who you mean?

Yes, and these need to be ended. President Trump should say his administration will not meet with racist groups, such as this. Besides, he should make clear, we are just following the law. Finally.

This meeting should be interesting...

Caucus: Why all the arrests?

ICE: Read the law.

Caucus: Why wasn’t advance warning given?

ICE: Read the law.

Caucus: How long will this continue?

ICE: Read the law.

You get the idea...

Politicians manipulate and circumvent the law all the time. Just look at the case of Hillary Clinton and the young sailor that took pictures.

“have struck fear in the hearts of the immigrant community.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Immigrants aren’t worried, they comply with the laws.

It’s illegal aliens who are in fear, as well they should be.

People who break into homes are fearful when they hear sirens approaching, they know they will be arrested.

Breaking into our country is supposed to result in deportation, if they want to avoid that and a ten year ban on re-entry the right way, they better leave now.
