Federal immigration authorities arrested at least 160 illegal aliens over multiple days and across multiple states in what the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is calling routine immigration enforcement actions.
Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Gillian Christensen confirmed to the Washington Post that routine immigration enforcement actions were taken this week in Los Angeles, California; Atlanta, Georgia; and two other cities that were not identified. The enforcement actions took place at home and workplaces.
The spokesperson noted it was an unprecedented step to issue statements on such raids while they were ongoing, but fast-spreading social media commentary triggered the agency to comment in this case.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) attested that 160 illegal aliens were arrested in the southern Californian region, including Los Angeles, according to NBC San Diego. The report stated that those with criminal histories and deportation orders were targeted over a five-day sweep.

The deportation of 40 million illegals starts with the first one.
You’re right. There are a hell of a lot more here than government and media will admit.
That photo scared the heck out of Me
and I’m a Citizen!
Like pouring water into a bucket with a huge hole in the bottom.
You gotta PLUG THE HOLE!!!
Wheres the FENCE!!!
I agreed with you right up to here. These businesses will adapt quickly or will go out of business quickly. If they have been minding there business properly, they will have staying power (money in the bank), unlike your friend. What they will have to do is hire legally and take a cut in the profit and/or raise prices, oh well. All in all, no sympathy from this corner. Risk/Reward.
You could get rid of a few million in no time if ICE would open up Checkpoint Cholos on a multitude of intersections in Los Angeles.
FINALLY!!!
Once deportations become commonplace, most will self-deport. Something like 75% self-deported during Eisenhower’s Operation Wetback.
During previous administrations, routine deportations were not newsworthy. Now they are. Think about the message that that sends to illegal aliens. Suddenly, they are hearing about deportation sweeps that they never heard of before—don’t you think that this might encourage them to self-deport? So we won’t have to deport every single one of them?
Yes, agree! Great idea. If they ever hope to come in legally, go back and start it now!
yup, prop 187! it passed overwhemingly. it said no education for illegals, no healthcare other than emergencies, no foodstamps, no welfare!
and this was in CA. The silent majority are still conservative (maybe not on CA anymore)
The employers should be fined for every illegal they hire - i believe that’s still the law. that can help build the wall.
it will happen!
“I bet Trump had this up his sleeve as a Plan B- and not a leak of it to the press!”
yup, while all attention was on the travel ban, he quietly unleashed ICE to enforce existing laws. i am so happy (but not moving back to Mexifornia(.
can’t wait to see 2017’s number!
160 is a start only 5 million in CA. to go!!!!!
Sick em !
160?
Trivial
