Pstor Fred Morris looked out over his congregation Sunday as news ricocheted around the world that American authorities were rounding up immigrants in an enforcement surge that President Donald Trump promised on the campaign trail.

Parishioners did not smile as on any other Sunday morning. They stared down at their feet. Others didn't attend at all.

"There is a dreadful sense of fear. It's more than palpable. It's radiating. People are terrified," said Morris, whose United Methodist mission is in a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood of Los Angeles. "They were just sitting there in stunned silence."

For days, fear and confusion have gripped immigrant communities after word spread that federal agents were rounding up hundreds of immigrants in cities across the country. The scope of the operation remained unclear on Sunday...

Fake news. It’s the 21st Century. Guy would be waling around with an iPad.

Until the MSM is able to distinguish between an “immigrant” and an “illegal alien” there’s still work to do. The continued intentional and willful conflation of the two is both an insult to legal immigrants, who have always been welcome in the United States, and an affront to the rule of law.

Immigrant-rights groups cite the case of Manuel Mosqueda, a 50-year-old house painter, as an example of how they believe ICE agents in the new administration are again going too far.

During last week's enforcement operation, ICE agents showed up at Mosqueda's home in the LA suburbs looking for someone else. While there, they inquired about Mosqueda, learned he was here illegally and put him on a bus to Mexico.

That would be because he is an illegal alien, and LAW and ORDER will be enforced.

The party is over scumbags, you are fresh out of communists friends running the White House and DHS.

So, if you are here ILLEGALLY, GO BACK TO MEXICO, and relax...your worries will be over!!! ;)

If they are not packing and leaving, the fear is not high enough. How about start driving ICE trucks through the neighborhood, parking them at WalMart and Home Depot parking lot entrances?

If they’re illegal I hope their every moment is in fear until they get their asses back across that border!!!

Hell, I'LL take a few days off and drive an ICE truck around.

Immigration advocates said many immigrants are now afraid to send their children to school and afraid to go to church or work or the hospital.

I'm noticing lots of illegals here driving the speed limit or BELOW the speed limit to avoid getting pulled over with a fake drivers license.
