A large roundup of Iraqi Christians by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been met with widespread criticism toward President Donald Trump, who previously pledged to protect such communities from persecution in the Middle East.
Dozens of Iraqi Christians and other immigrants were seized over the weekend in a series of ICE raids, many of which took place in Michigan, a state known for its large Middle Eastern population. Those arrested face risk of deportation back to their home countries, some of which Trump had previously criticized as being hostile toward Christians.
Many of the detained are facing years-old charges and some having not committed any crimes in the past two or three decades, CNN reported. Activists such as Steve Oshana, an Assyrian-Christian who is executive director of A Demand for Action, a non-profit that assists at-risk religious and ethnic communities in the Middle East, have attacked Trump for allowing authorities to send Christians back to places like Iraq, where the U.S. has said a "genocide" against the faith was occurring.

HOORAY President Donald J. Trump
Wondering if this is true????
This is most likely BS. Obama never let many Christians enter this country.
Probably a bunch of lying muzzies.
Newsweek repeating a CNN story.
I doubt whether this is true. No doubt some Christians have been picked up among the many immigrants. But it was Mohammed Obama who admitted millions of Muslims while deliberately expelling Christians.
And the media said nothing.
Likely all of the very recent “converts”.
Less than 2% of the refugees that Obama brought in are Christian. Agree, it is likely others lying to create more blowback.
Christians living in Michigan...the Muzzie Capital of the US?? Nuff said.
Bingo.
BS...obama hardly let any Iraqi Christians in country. The only thing he was was re-arm Isis so they could kill off as many Christians as they could.
This sounds like more fake news.
Barf alert/omitted
“...ICE stated that the raids were “consistent with the routine, targeted arrests carried out by ICE’s Fugitive Operations Teams on a daily basis,”
What crimes did they commit that?
It is probably a trap. They want Trump to say don’t worry it’s only Muslims.
“This is most likely BS. Obama never let many Christians enter this country.”
In fact he sent some if not most Christians back.
Easiest way to tell if they are Muslims or not - if the pre-menopause women aren’t wearing headscarves or veils, they are not Muslims. Still Arabs, but not Muslims.
The vast, vast majority of bureaucrats are Leftists, and they would delight in sending Christian refugees back to face ISIS.
99% of Mexicans and Central American deportees are Christians. Didn’t prevent their deportations. They are being forced to go back to their gang and drug infested homelands.
