Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) got handcuffed in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Chicago today after arriving with a list of demands and staging a sit-in.
One of the things the congressman was protesting was a series of tweets issued by ICE last week warning that those covered under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program weren't necessarily safe from removal.
"DACA is not a protected legal status, but active DACA recipients are typically a lower level of enforcement priority," ICE tweeted. "Deferred action may be revoked anytime especially when someone commits a crime or poses a national security of public safety threat."
Some congressional Dems accused the agency of trying to scare youths who had stepped forward and attained legal status under the Obama administration.
Gutierrez accused President Trump of approving of ICE trying to "bully vulnerable children" and arrived at the Chicago ICE office this morning.
The congressman told CNN that "there's a lie, and the lie keeps repeating, it keeps getting repeated, and that is they're going after criminals, they're going after the bad people in the immigrant community."
"The fact is, they're going after DREAMers. There were tweets out last Friday about that they are no longer protected and that they can be deported," Gutierrez said. "...What we did is we said, 'Tell us it isn't so.' And then, they tell us, 'Well, there really isn't a change in policy.' Then we tell them, 'Retract the tweets.'"
"So, look, somebody has to stand up for them. The fact is that they are under threat."
Gutierrez said he also demanded that ICE say DACA is still in effect, work permits are still valid and beneficiaries are "free from any deportations."
"So, when they threatened us with arrest, we said, arrest us. If that's what you must do. We came here to get answers," he continued. "You saw what they do. They put handcuffs on and then they said, 'You're not released.' It's very different when it's not in the dark of the night and there's a vulnerable, fearful immigrant community that cannot defend themselves and when they have to confront American citizens in plain daylight with the media watching. Very, very different. We want to shed light on the situation."
Leave him there, no food no bathroom vists and wait him out
Lump head should look up the word, “deferred” in the dictionary.
Maybe he should get elected to Congress and try to make changes from within the system.
We’re in for happy times.
Deport him
Terrorists make demands.
there’s a vulnerable, fearful immigrant community that cannot defend themselves”
They are all Illegal Aliens and Have NO Defense, Deport ALL OF THEM!
>Deport him
I like the cut of your jib. Deport him, indeed.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Keep it going Luis. The Democrat Party continues to show they care more about our foreigners entering our nation illegally than their own countrymen. The day before the election the Democrats were salivating over the assumed Hillary win. Four months later they’re sinking in political quicksand, and getting more unhinged with each passing day.
Well, that’s what snipers and guard towers are for. Me, I’d leave a few apaches sitting around, a detachment of Marines, landmines on their side, and maybe mortars set up here and there with pre-determined kill boxes. My idea for the wall would resemble something like Omaha Beach.
I mean why not? Why do our guys have to die for people around the world who hate us? A few countries, sure, but by and large, I generally disapprove of deploying OUR boys to bleed for others who should fight for themselves. Let them stand and patrol our wall, I say
Please, please, please let there be a photo of him with those cuffs! This is PURE GOLD for those of us who survived 8 years of Obozo’s wreckage.
Oh, that’s not it by half. Ground penetrating radar sweeping the length of the border around the clock, all kinds of satellite-based thermal badassery, German shepherds out the wazoo, I’m talking the works.
In 2016, no one ran against Rep. Gutierrez. I hope a conservative will announce, for that race, by Memorial Day.
Add the automated machinegun posts and snipers to catch the overflow.
Random tank and APC patrols.
