As the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carried out raids in Los Angeles, in which 35 Mexicans were reportedly detained, Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum said that migrants "are not criminals".
She defended the migrants living in America and said, "Mexicans living in the United States are good men and women, honest people who went to the United States to seek a better life for themselves and to support their families. They are not criminals! They are good men and women!" Sheinbaum said in a speech, a news agency AFP report cited.
What happened in Los Angeles?
Armed and masked ICE agents on Friday carried out coordinated workplace raids across LA, sparking rage and protests.
Soon after, protesters gathered outside federal buildings in downtown LA, including a detention center.
Additional protests also erupted in Paramount, just south of the city, with protesters carrying and chanting slogans such as "ICE out of LA!"
Meanwhile, federal agents resorted to tear gas and flash-bang grenades to disperse the crowd. Some demonstrators were also seen raising Mexican flags.
According to Bloomberg, the federal immigration agency said it arrested an average of 2,000 undocumented immigrants per day nationwide this week, including 118 persons in the LA area.

“honest people”...yeah, that’s why they snuck into the USA in the first place. Nothing says “honesty” like breaking the law.
According to our laws, they are indeed criminals.
That’s exactly what I’ve been saying. Migrants aren’t criminals - but illegal aliens are. So why does everyone keep calling them migrants?
The whore of the Cartels has spoken
Honest ?!?!? The ones picked up in a truck recently, didn’t even have driver’s licenses, and the wife said he was ‘law abiding’
According to Mexican law if you sneak into Mexico you are a criminal.
Penalties for Illegally Entering Mexico
Illegal immigration is a felony under Mexican law. In fact, Article 123 of the General Law of Population mandates that “a penalty of up to two years in prison and a fine of three hundred to five hundred thousand pesos will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the country illegally.”
They’re Illegal Aliens and are Criminals
That’s true. Screw them.
Send all illegals back to Mexico.
I remember a few years back when some poor American took a wrong turn, wound up in Mexico because he was unable to turn around and spent two years in a Mexican jail until American authorities were able to spring him. I guess it’s different depending on whether you’re crossing south to north or north to south.
Yep, they’re criminals by definition.
So the United States has no borders.
This left wing bitch is crazy.
Would Americans be allowed to come into Mexico illegally, wave American flags, fight with police, demand money, goods, and services, and commit crimes against people and their property?
Hell no! They would be arrested or shot.
Silencio, puta!
Yeah, they broke our immigration laws. That makes them criminals, cartel puta.
People who enter countries illegally are trespassers, criminals and lawbreakers. By definition of those terms.
I am ok with describing them in the accurate terms Imuse above.
