It’s actually a good thing when unhinged news outlets which support illegal immigration trot out these stories, because it helps increase the fear among these law breaking illegal aliens, and hopefully gets reported to those who are looking to come illegally/overstay their visas
Fear of immigration raids builds as agency’s plans move forward
President Trump said his administration will move forward “fairly soon†with a plan to arrest thousands of migrant families in surprise roundups across major U.S. cities, with the two-week deadline he imposed on Democrats coming up on Saturday.
Trump tipped off the mass arrests in a June 17 tweet, vowing “millions†of deportations, but called them off five days later. The president tweeted that he delayed the raids for two weeks at Democrats’ request, “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.â€
“If not,â€Â he wrote , “Deportations start!â€
Trump’s threats have left immigrants living in the United States illegally in a fog of dread, putting neighborhoods on edge and making residents fear venturing outside.
There is no specific timeline for the operations, but, on thing that Washington Post writers Nick Miroff, Josh Dawsey, and Maria Sacchetti forget to mention (either on purpose or because they failed to do the research) is that everyone on the list to be rounded up and deported have already exhausted their legal methods to stay in the U.S. after arriving illegally at some point. A goodly chunk were ordered deported while Obama was president, so they should have already been gone. Per federal immigration judges, they have no lawful reason to remain
Eva, who works at a plant nursery in Homestead, Fla., said she has stopped going to the park and makes trips to the grocery store every few weeks.
“I don’t know when I leave in the morning if I’ll come home in the night,†said Eva, who arrived illegally 19 years ago from Mexico and whose teen daughter is a U.S. citizen.
“They could come and get me at any time,†she said, asking for her last name to be withheld for fear it could help ICE find her.
Funny how these reporters can so easily find an illegal alien, eh? If you cannot deal with the penalties, do not do the crime.
Officials at ICE concede that few of the families on their list are likely to be encountered at the addresses provided to the courts. The agency is expecting to find some of those individuals and make “collateral†arrests of others they encounter who lack legal status or have outstanding deportation orders.
So they also lied to the courts? That’s a criminal offense.
The constant churn of threats and rumored raids has left those facing potential deportation on edge.
Good. They could avoid all that if they just left. Like federal judges ordered.
