With masks at the ready, ICE agents make arrests on first day of California coronavirus lockdown
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | March 17, 2020 | Brittny Mejia

In the darkness of the early hours Monday, about a dozen immigration agents gathered outside a Starbucks in Bell Gardens, Calif. For the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, who make daily arrests, it was supposed to be business as usual. But that morning, they greeted one another with elbows instead of handshakes; the Starbucks where they rendezvoused was only grab and go; and they passed freeway signs that read: "Wash your hands stay healthy avoid COVID-19."

With safety measures taken across the state, immigrant advocates have criticized ICE for its continued enforcement operations. More than 45 organizations signed a letter this week calling on the Department of Homeland Security to suspend such actions.


The safety of US citizens depends of ICE intercepting and removing unvetted illegal aliens from our country. What diseases are they bringing with them? How will our soon to be overloaded medical facilities treat them? Keep up the good work ICE

More people have died at the hands of illegals so far this year than have died from this virus

If the virus helps us remove all the illegals because they’re all hiding at home, wouldn’t that be a net positive? :P

“With masks at the ready.” What are they going to do with the masks? Sounds like they are prepped to use them as a weapon. And it is the third day of enforcement—so much for accurate reporting when you’re not a real journalist from the rabid leftist rag originating in the crap lined streets of San Francisco.

To me it makes more sense for the 60+ crowd to self isolate themselves. Looking a the mortality rates it seems like if the under 60 crowd got infected at a healthy clip, they would only be mildly sick with very few deaths.

Unless I’m missing something, this isn’t going to just disappear in a few weeks. Weeks will turn into months of everything being shut down.

I believe that, for the safety of our children, we need to deport ALL illegal aliens to Mexico, and build a HUGE wall on the Mexico AND Canadian border.. that way, we’ll beat the Coronavirus.

May God bless and keep these ICE agents. Good grief! These men have such a tough job to begin with, and now on top of it they have to be concerned about catching something from these scumbags.

"What are they going to do with the mask?"

The writer of the story could not spell 'Balaclava'.

I predict it will last to the first day of summer. I work for a major film studio and they can put up for now but execs will NOT tolerate not making money by summer. And they are dummycrats who mostly don’t like not hate Trump.
