U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has detained or deported several foreigners across the country who are also prominent immigration activists, prompting accusations from advocates that the Trump administration is improperly targeting political opponents.

Detention Watch Network, a nonprofit that tracks immigration enforcement, said this week that several activists have been targeted recently, including Maru Mora Villalpando in Washington state, Eliseo Jurado in Colorado, and New York immigrant leaders Jean Montrevil and Ravi Ragbir.

“They’re trying to intimidate people,” said Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), the ranking Democrat of the House Judiciary Committee. “These are well-known activists who’ve been here for decades, and they’re saying to them: Don’t raise your head.”

Cry me a river.

Ba bye

Great! Deport them all. Texas taxpayers pay $8.6 Billion annually for the care and feeding of illegal aliens, both in and out of prison.

Paint a target on your chest; you shouldn’t be surprised if you get shot.

I’m absolutely sick of these activists out there flaunting their illegality in our faces and daring someone to do something about it. It’s about time they were detained and deported. If it appears they’re being ‘targeted’, so much the better .... shows someone is working a plan instead of ignoring lawlessness.

[sickoflibs]

For sure :)

I have watched for a couple of decades now how illegal immigrants agitate in public. I used to wonder why they weren't deported. The only reasonable answer was that immigration enforcement was something of a sham. Then of course, sanctimonious idiots would rail about illegal immigrants "being in the shadows." Eh?

Apparently, this is no longer so. Good.

[Crucial]

These are enemy combatants as far as I’m concerned. This is winning.

yep- not just illegals, BUT TERRORISTS!!!!!

see:

“Rasmea Yousef Odeh, a convicted terrorist. Odeh, a Palestinian, was convicted in Israel in 1970 for her part in two terrorist bombings, one of which killed two students while they were shopping for groceries. She spent 10 years in prison for her crimes. She then managed to become a US citizen in 2004 by lying about her past (great detective work, INS: Next time, use Google) but was subsequently convicted, in 2014, of immigration fraud for the falsehoods. However, she won the right to a new trial (set for this spring) by claiming she had been suffering from PTSD at the time she lied on her application. Oh, and in her time as a citizen, she worked for a while as an ObamaCare navigator.”

YEP !! worked for the DEMONrats- a murderer!!

these illegal aliens are evil-
as are the Demon democrats!

If I recall correctly, in at least one case, an activist was detained for removal, and they went to her house and rounded up undocumented relatives there for removal as well - kind of a “Chain Deportation”. Little Miss Loudmouth is going to have a hard time living that down with the rest of the family.

You seem to have the IRS on the brain...

So let’s say a bank robber walks into a police station and tells them he robbed a bank. Are the police supposed to just ignore that and let him walk or do they arrest, investigate, and incarcerate if true?

Now replace “bank robber” with “illegal alien” and “police station” with “border patrol detention center”; you have the same scenario on a national level.

I don’t know why these illegals feel untouchable after they announce they are illegally breaking our laws and flaunting it our faces. It’s not like obama is President... No one said they were smart; just illegal.

the Demon democrats ....

My take on ‘DACA’ ..... Democrats Against Citizens of America.

They aren’t “political opponents” if they can’t legally participate in the political process.

[Axenolith]

Really. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. MAGA, now available in lithium version!

[TallahasseeConservative]

Yup. Just do what we did to the occupy wall street hippies. Flexible orange snow fences. All the ones out there with signs proudly proclaiming their status, wrap em up and load em up...easy peasy

Ska-Rew em!

Get em out!

Let the beatings begin.

[jmacusa]

*Sigh* Yeah me too. Like when bank robbers get shot ‘n’’ child molesters get the shit kicked out of them in jail ‘n’ stuff...

[dila813]

While these activists were trying to intimidate everyone else, we know these activists broke other laws and were easily located, of course they would be deported.
