DREAMer detained by ICE moments after speaking at immigration rally

Type the words “customs enforcement” into Google. President Trump’s executive order, which changed how immigration laws are enforced in the U.S., puts everyone at risk and creates alarming ambiguities, she says.

“When you’re considering this, I just want you to remember immigrants are people”, said Lilly Mullock, of West Cape May.

The recently sworn-in Trump has called for more deportations and taken a variety of stances on DACA.

Mr. Homan, a West Carthage native, was appointed January 30 as acting director of ICE.

The timing is interesting because Trump had been expected to sign a revised executive order on Wednesday regarding restrictions on immigration from certain countries after a previous ban ran into trouble in federal courts.

He succeeded Daniel H. Ragsdale as acting director of ICE. “We have no plans to get involved in immigration enforcement”. “Everyone is going after ICE”. “ICE’s assertion that her detention is “routine’ is absurd and seems anything but”, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), ranking member of the committee on homeland security, said in a statement on Thursday”.

Vargas is the latest target in a series of immigration enforcement operations across Mississippi. And his research has led the committee chair, Assemblyman Patrick O’Donnell to author Assembly Bill 699 that would, among other things, prohibit school districts from collecting a student’s immigration status in order to prevent immigration agents from looking at student files that could in some way lead them to the immigration status of students or their parents. “ICE Fugitive Operations Teams conduct targeted enforcement operations toward these identified threats to public safety”. “They’ll come back with information rather quickly as to what their intentions are”, Sini said.

“In many cases, not in all cases. They are now operating with 100 percent capability like they should have been”.

Vargas’s arrest “was a real shock to people”, he adds-not only those in the immigrant community, but to other groups as well. “She does not have a legal status and she’s terrified”, said Walker. And a judge’s decision, regardless of what it is, must be respected. “They were brought here in such a way – it’s a very – it’s a very, very tough subject”, he said.

Those sweeps haven’t happened in years, Minor said. But that’s one of his many lies. “And now she’s an adult trying to assert her own rights”.

These types of immigration enforcement actions are generating widespread fear among the state’s immigrant communities, Zambrano said. But that is likely to change.

“You know who we are, you know what we’re here for”, they reportedly told Vargas. “We focus on their crime or their violation”, the police chief said.

They also ask for statistics from the recent raids, including the number of people detained and whether the activities were planned before Donald Trump took office.

“ICE is committed to maintaining and strengthening its relationship with local law enforcement”.

“I don’t think I’ve always had a higher amount from Alabama; it’s been kind of neutral”.
