Some are questioning the way Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials are handling arrests in Fairfax County after at least two men were arrested near a church shelter.
Oscar Ramirez said he had just left the hypothermia shelter at Rising Hope Mission Church on Russell Road in Alexandria, Virginia, when about a dozen ICE agents surround him and other Latino men.
"'Stop right there. Stop right there. Stop right there. Stay by the wall, where we can see your hands,'" the agents said, according to Ramirez.
The group of men had left the shelter about 6:45 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 8 and crossed the street when the ICE agents ordered them to stand against a brick wall.
Ramirez said the agents questioned all of them and scanned their fingers to find out if they had criminal backgrounds. Agents quickly cleared Ramirez, who has a green card, he said.
But he and other witnesses told News4 that about six Latino men were arrested and taken away in two vans that pulled up to the area where they had been stopped.
"This is the first time I see something like that," Ramirez said. "It surprised me. I mean, I think it surprised a lot of people who seen it actually happen," said Marvin Roach, a guest at the church shelter.
"They were clearly targeting the church because they knew that they stayed here in the hypothermia shelter. So they were waiting for them to cross the street and then jump on them," said Rising Hope Mission Church Rev. Keary Kincannon.
An ICE spokeswoman said the agency's "sensitive location" policy was followed. The policy requires agents to avoid arresting people at places of worship, schools and medical facilities. The spokeswoman emphasized the arrests took place across the street from the church and not on church property.
The vast majority of agents have to be proud of their job again.
Sensitive location needs to be abolished.
They should only be arrested on the third Thursday of the month between the hours of 1:06 pm and 3:17 pm on the SE corner of 5th and Main St. Flyers must be posted and cops cars are to block the roadways beginning four blocks away so the people will have advance warning.
All illegal aliens are encouraged to self-deport immediately to avoid any unpleasant encounters with ICE agents or other law enforcement personnel that may be inclined to place them on a deportation detainer.
Next thing you know, ICE will be showing up at polling places and I hear any illegals caught voting will be charged with felonies and get 8-10 years prison before deportation. (spread the word)

Sounds like a text book case of an arrest of someone suspected to have committed a crime.
Nice work, men!
Others are not. When I read statements that “some are questioning..... I have to ask, WHO?” Is the “some” identified in the article? I could round up 100 people to agree with something. Just ask Mark Dice.
I sometimes go to junkyards in coastal Calif.
About one weekend per month everything is 1/2 off.
On those days the junkyard is entirely FULL of people who never speak a single word of english, more than 100 people all lined up, trying to buy cheap car parts.
ALL the workers are Mexicans, too.

Good to know. Son-in-law is getting out of the Marine Corps later this year and hasn’t yet decided on a career path. I’ll recommend that he look into job opportunities with ICE and Homeland Security. Thanks.
