I.C.E and "street gangs". . . MSM LIES on parade!!
They are rolling out a load of BS about Immigration & Custom's Enforcement's focus on arresting gang members.

DON'T BUY IT!

In Nassau County on Long Island, ICE agents lied to local law enforcement to get their assistance on what they had called "gang activity busts". The local cops went along, only to discover that it was an immigration sweep, pure and simple..

See this article:

Immigration arrests spark controversy from coast to coast

GARDEN CITY. N.Y. - Long Island officials complained loudly this week about a series of immigration raids, accusing federal agents of a "cowboy mentality" that could have put local police in harm's way.

The attack on the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency was so sharp that a congressman stepped in to try and broker a peace.

But such complaints are becoming increasingly common, with local officials from Nevada to Nassau County saying they are fed up with the federal war on illegal immigration.

~snip~

"How on earth is local law enforcement supposed to deal with a scared citizenry?" he said. "This new policy of immigration reform by law enforcement is going to wreak havoc on our communities, wreak havoc on our economy."

1. Brown people are being incarcerated at alarming rates
under the guise of “rule of law” AS crime rates are dropping. We are only watching one set of criminals compete with another set of criminals who stockpile brown people in facilities tied to the NEWEST growth industry the PRISON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX (PIC). Check labor statistics and you will be surprised to learn that PICs compete with Walmarts in number of employees.

The REAL thugs and criminals in this country are SO BOLD they brag about their profits from imprisonment.

Prison stocks, prisoner ranks seen rising-Barron's

Prison stocks are expected to rise despite a recent U.S. Census report pointing to a lower than expected rise in prison population, Barron's reported in its Oct. 8 edition.

The Census report, which said U.S. prisons' population is growing at 4 percent annually, countered a February study by Pew Charitable Trusts that forecast prison population to rise 13 percent annually.

Barron's said Pew's report is likely a more accurate assessment of the prison population growth as the U.S. government's report polled 37 states, compared to Pew's data from 42 states and estimates from the other eight states.

Corrections Corp of America (CXW.N: Quote, Profile, Research), which trades at around $25, is likely see profits rise 20 percent annually and its share price could reach $30.

GEO Group Inc (GEO.N: Quote, Profile, Research) could see shares soar to $35 from its current high-$20 levels.

Cornell Co (CRN.N: Quote, Profile, Research) shares could jump by 40 percent. It closed on Friday at $26.03 on the New York Stock Exchange.

"If you have reservations about owning a stake in a harsh institution like a prison, consider this: Some of our nation's most creative CEOs now reside in prisons," Barron's said. (Reporting by Kenneth Li)


Its blood money.
