ICE Rounding up PARENTS OF AMERICAN CHILDREN

[orangecrush]

That is what "collateral arrests" means.

They're even in suburban neighborhoods outside Austin city limit. Yesterday, they were following a school bus as kids got off.

"Donald Trump's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents began massive deportation sweeps Thursday in Los Angeles and other cities around the country, only there's no indication that agents specifically targeted dangerous criminals. In the LA raids, Esther Yu Hsi Lee reports:

Advocates and lawyers said that ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations agents detained 134 immigrants at their workplaces and homes in a series of raids. They said that some people were picked up as “collateral arrest” after they opened their doors to agents who were not there to specifically arrest them. ICE agents allegedly requested to see identification from everyone and took in family members who were undocumented. (emphasis added)

The immigration sweeps are believed to have taken place across Southern California in Santa Paula, Oxnard, Van Nuys, San Bernardino, and Downey."


ICE agents denied detaining 100 people and a spokesperson insisted the raids targeted "individuals who pose a risk to our communities." Kind of like apprehending Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos in Arizona Wednesday, a mom with American children whose only crime was getting caught in a workplace raid about a decade ago.

Or these sweeps in Austin, Texas: “Alvarado described her husband’s arrest like ‘he was being hunted. … She said they knew where he lived, his job, his morning route.’”

“What do I do now?” Reyna Alvarado said in Spanish. "I had to go to school and tell my daughter that they’ve taken her father away,” she added, while her forlorn 12-year-old, the youngest of the Honduran couple's three children clutched her mother as she spoke.

There’s also unconfirmed reports that ICE agents are trailing kids walking home from school to lead them to their parents."

1. And what are they doing with these American Children? I AM SO LIVID RIGHT NOW.

[orangecrush]

2. Probably putting them in detention

Then through CYS or some such agency is my guess.

[TrekLuver]

8. This will be right next the Japanese round up..another stain on America. An orange one.

[orangecrush]

9. It feels

Like a bad nightmare.

[TrekLuver]

13. I am so pissed off right now...I need drugs to get through this "administration"....and I'm not

even kidding.

[adigal]

26. Looks like I picked the wrong decade to quit drinking nt

[workinclasszero]

37. Trump will build concentration camps soon to hold the thousands rounded up

More jobs for his deplorables to build them and as guards.

[TrekLuver]

38. Or maybe he'll ship em off too in the dead of night and the early morn. The news is not really

covering it.......WHY? I know there is so much toxic spaghetti being thrown at the wall but seriously.

[workinclasszero]

40. News media is too busy

trying to normalize Trump's criminal administration.

If a democratic president did ONE of the law breaking things Trump has done they would be starting impeachment proceedings already!

[dchill]

3. When will the first sweep take place...

in a major RED STATE city? This major asshole jerkoff has to go NOW.

[KittyWampus]

4. Texas is red, isn't it?

[dchill]

5. Yes.

But Austin is blue.

[orangecrush]

6. This is small stuff

Compared to what asshole Bannon is dreaming of.

This is not American.

[In_The_Wind]

7. It's a very sad time for America.

[orangecrush]

11. The Latino communities

Have a way of dealing with shit like this.

They are already going into action.

[adigal]

28. I heard they are terrified. I just contacted a sanctuary group and offered my home and land

We all need to step up, people, and offer our homes. There aren't enough prisons for all of us.

[orangecrush]

31. God bless you

Bravo!!!

[PsychoBabble]

10. Frightening how such SMALL men do ...

... such LARGE things.

We just have to fight back, and hope (help them) get their just "reward" in the end/soon ....

For Bannon, looking in the mirror every morning must almost be enough punishment.

[orangecrush]

12. This is still America

And I don't see Americans tolerating much more of this.

[smirkymonkey]

14. This is out of control!

They need to be stopped!

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

15. So you get arrested if you don't have some sort of documentation on you?

Wondering what documentation they consider acceptable. I don't have a passport. I should get one soon since the feds don't think my state driver's license is a "real id". I don't carry my social security card with me or birth certificate. Nobody does that.

[Blue_true]

17. I only carry my driver's license around with me. But I am in

A group that is highly unlikely to detained unless I am caught redhanded boing a crime.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

18. Same here

Just wondering how do you prove you are a us citizen if you were asked to?

[Blue_true]

16. Not a peep from Jill Stein, Susan Sarandon, Cornell West

About Trump Nazis invading immigrants houses and jobs and ripping families apart. Also the Dakota Access Pipeline construction has restarted after Trump intimidated the Army Corp of Engineers. This WOULD NOT have happened if Clinton was President. Fuck the Stein voters, fuck the BoB that voted for Trump, all of them are as much bastards as the people that they voted for.

[2naSalit]

19. Maybe some twittershaming is in order for them....nt

[lpbk2713]

20. Herr Trumpenfuehrer is hard at work.

Creating as much personal misery as he can.

[orangecrush]

23. Can only hope

He turns decent peoples stomachs enough for them to step in.

[nikibatts]

21. These kids will grow up to hate America. How would you feel if your parents were taken from you?

I am so upset about this. I want more coverage of this. The media is covering Kellyanne more than this and it is shameful!

[orangecrush]

22. 180 opposite of Obama

Trump is a minister of hate.

[Dallasdem1988]

24. This is horrible

A group of good old boys was CHEERING this with an Asian man today I couldn't believe what I was hearing. He started spouting some nonsense about rule of law and coming the right way like somehow republicans suddenly care about laws. My social media mutual friends is filled with deplorables celebrating this and other deportations. Sickening. I wish I had a bigger place I would invite these people into my home.

[orangecrush]

27. Rule of law?

Trump got a craw full of law, 3 - 0.

He didn't seem to like it much.

[adigal]

30. The comments on the WaPo story got me sick

Why are white people so afraid? I will tell you. They know that the game is almost over. They really think getting rid of illegals will keep them from being a minority in 10 years. They have been given permission to hate by this horrible man.

I don't know if we will win this fight. But we all have to fight. Offer sanctuary if you have an extra room. Someone on twitter accused me of harboring a criminal and being a criminal. I told him that yes, I was a criminal, just like the people who harbored Ann Frank.

[Dallasdem1988]

36. This is exactly

What they say to me. Nonsense about how whites deserved to keep white countries white. I'm sorry I understood the argument I suppose but white people have done such damage I can't say them becoming a minority is a bad thing.

Soon Europe will be multicultural and America and these people will have to learn to behave.

[adigal]

25. I was just on the Washington Post story on this

It was disgusting. The glee and joy of white people that these people being deported with no notice, no family. I am amazingly disheartened. We are a horrible people.

[orangecrush]

29. Deeply saddened by this

I am of Irish descent, and my ancestors went through much the same.

Something Steve Bannon apparently doesn't get.

[saidsimplesimon]

32. My daughter

has marched for immigrant rights with this lovely lady. Her reward for standing up and speaking out, targeting by the rump brigade.
Malo, on steroids, resist!

[orangecrush]

35. ....

[catbyte]

33. This is just so despicable. Nothing but cold and mean-spirited.

Can the American version of Kristallnacht be far behind?

[orangecrush]

34. This is

The American Kristallnacht.

At least the beginning of it.

[procon]

39. Its Trump's revenge. He wants to cause as much pain and chaos

as possible by targeting families. The optics probably won't affect Republicans, but the whole world will never forget the terror on the face of Elian Gonzalez, the little five year old Cuban boy who had survived a perilous raft journey that killed his mother, only to be ripped out of the arms of his Florida relatives by heavily armed men.

Trump is playing with fire here.

[orangecrush]

42. Bannon

is the one pulling Trumps puppet strings.

[HassleCat]

41. I know everyone is angry, but this is just business as usual.

They have done these big roundups as long as I can remember. I actually saw one in progress in 2007. Sometimes one parent is deported, and the other parent is allowed to stay. In a few cases, the parents get to stay, but the kids are ejected. It all depends on who is here legally, and who is not. We should be trying to change immigration laws so this does not happen, but we have never been able to make any progress, and it's certainly not going to happen right now.
