Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are set to begin conducting raids of thousands of illegal immigrants across the U.S. beginning Sunday, The New York Times reports, just weeks after President Trump delayed the operation to give Congress time to develop a bipartisan solution to the border crisis.
At least 2,000 immigrants who have already been given deportation orders will be targeted, according to the report, but “collateral” deportations may also occur.
The raids, which will be conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement over multiple days, will include “collateral” deportations, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the preliminary stage of the operation. In those deportations, the authorities might detain immigrants who happened to be on the scene, even though they were not targets of the raids.
When possible, family members who are arrested together will be held in family detention centers in Texas and Pennsylvania. But because of space limitations, some might end up staying in hotel rooms until their travel documents can be prepared. ICE’s goal is to deport the families as quickly as possible. (The New York Times)
The raids are reportedly scheduled to take place in at least 10 major U.S. cities. June’s raid was expected to target Chicago, Baltimore, New York, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, and more.
Trump warned last month if Congress couldn’t find a solution to the immigration crisis the deportations would begin.
At the request of Democrats, I have delayed the Illegal Immigration Removal Process (Deportation) for two weeks to see if the Democrats and Republicans can get together and work out a solution to the Asylum and Loophole problems at the Southern Border. If not, Deportations start!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 22, 2019
yawn.
“..delayed the operation to give Congress time to develop a bipartisan solution to the border crisis.”
more like..
“..delayed the operation go give democrats time to find a judge to halt it.”
A little less horn tooting and a little more action would probably get the job done more efficiently.
2,000 is a good start...but it needs a few more zeroes.
I will believe it when I see it....
Only 2000? Surely there are more than that.
The tactic is to create fear. To induce knashing of teeth and lamentations. Women illegals must become fearful for them selves and their children. They must become uncomfortable in their own skin.
Being deported will be relief from the fear
You’re right. The whole thing is meaningless when they warn them. That’s just a signal for “run and hide, because we really don’t want to have to deport you”.
brace yourselves, ice is coming
All talk, no action. I am sick of this ‘we are going to do’ that telegraphs potential actions that too often are then half-a55ed and stopped or simply withdrawn before they occur. We are over 2-1/2 years into Trump’s administration and it is just talk about deportations! Why? These people, millions of illegals in the US, are eligible for direct deportation and yet none or a trickle are occuring. Even the 2,000 here is a pathetic joke when contrasted to the 30-60 million illegals in the US. It is for cameras, for politics, not for defense of America.
The other day Trump was talking of MILLIONS. Guess that’s off the table?
Does this mean gorebull warming is over?
OH wait..
Headline: “Quick, hide”
Second, after you've announced, multiple times, that you're launching a raid, but you never actually launched a raid, then that's a pretty clear indication that you're not actually going to launch a raid. Got it?
Finally, we've got, what, 60 million of the world's unwashed and unwanted? And ICE is targeting 2 thousand?
Yeah, that's a federal bureaucracy that totally worth the millions of dollars they get. /sarc
yawn.
I don’t think Illegals are yawning ,LOL
I expect a lot of the political stuff we are talking about right now will explode next year. It’s all about timing. And Trump understands that (as does Pelosi).
THIS!!!!!!!!!!
I sure hope they storm Los Angeles with full force, thousands with busses for the invaders....
Do it or don’t. Stop talking about it.
