BREAKING: Trump’s First Illegal Immigrant Raid Underway…

February 5, 2017




The first deportation operation is gearing up, so get ready to mark a Trump campaign promise complete.

The Trump administration is collaborating with Immigration & Customs Enforcement in Austin, Texas to begin the first round of undocumented immigrant deportations.

The Austin Chronicle reports:

“According to the Immigrant Services Network of Austin, which published a news bulletin on Wednesday about the rumored raid, ICE has reportedly deployed four teams of five to 10 officers in Travis County. The federal agency is allegedly lodging detainers for any foreign-born individual in a county jail, and are detaining and arresting people who have criminal warrants or outstanding orders of removal. (DACA, deferred action, pending U visas, and stays of removal aren’t being targeted at this point, though that could change.)”

In Austin and on social media, Democrats are in a full-blown panic.

One local city councilman, Greg Casar, is working to inform illegal immigrants of their ability to call a “deportation crisis hotline” if provoked by ICE.

Casar is also planning on distributing “Know Your Rights” pamphlets to undocumented immigrants.

This story will be updated in the coming days.

GO ICE!!! I hope this is true.

Where is the "crisis hotline" for American citizens?

Round them up and deport them all.

If any of them have half a brain they would start to sell out, pack up and go back home to their relatives.

YOU are the responsibility of President Nieto...and yes, you got that right, President TRUMP is NOT your President.

Expert: ICE raids in Central Texas highly unlikely

AUSTIN (KXAN) — As uncertainty grows about how local and federal agencies are handling immigration issues, rumors are flying about possible “massive” Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids coming to Central Texas, but some in the community are calling those claims wrong and irresponsible.

“I think the noise is getting a little out of control,” said Kevin Lashus, an immigration lawyer and former prosecutor for Homeland Security who specialized in handling deportations. Lashus worked in terror prosecution for six years, now he works to defend those who are in the country illegally.

He’s not discounting fears on immigrants being sent back to their countries, he’s simply saying inciting more fear is not the way to go. “It’s a little too early to be that anxious about that kind of activity. We need to be a little bit more mindful of what kind of impact rumors have on communities.”

When asked about the possibilities of ICE going door to door in Central Texas looking for immigrants, Lashus says it’s possible but highly unlikely.

“What I can tell you, at least from my experience, is that we don’t have the logistical capacity to be able to have widespread, communal, in the simplest terms, raids. Is it out of the realm of possibility? It’s not. [We have] a new administration. We don’t know what those directives are going to be. From my experience, I think rational people will be given priorities and will come up with a rational approach to handling problems.”

Lashus says he thinks fears stem from widespread work site enforcement actions that happened in 2006 and 2007, when ICE cracked down on 1,300 undocumented immigrants working at six meat processing plants across six states.

The chief of the Austin Police Department says laws forcing them to comply with immigration are not reasonable especially when the department is already stretched thin.

“If we are given the additional workload of enforcing immigration laws that again will put a further drain on our resources that are already stretched pretty thin,” said Chief Brian Manley.

Lashus says it is important to stay alert, but not fearful of imminent raids. He says many people on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) should begin planning their next steps, in case the program is cut.

“We don’t know how it’s going to work out; what I do know is that the law makes it illegal for [employers] to continue to employ [DACA] folks beyond the date of the expiration on their current work authorization.

There’s going to be pain associated with letting those folks go, but the reality is, I would prefer they follow the law than not follow the law.”

We checked with the Austin Police Department, they said if there were a raid, their officers would not be present. Travis County Sheriff’s Office has taken a stance against cooperating with ICE unless they are high-level criminals.

Would of liked to see them start in California. But this will do nicely.

If this was real it would be on every news program in the country.

Maybe it isn't true. I honestly don't think ICE is going to announce when or where they're coming unless some traitor leaks it.

We've had this discussion before. I don't think anyone really thinks ICE is going to be going door to door seeking out illegals they don't have a criminal warrant on. However, it would be nice to see the Trump administrations restart the business raids on the businesses where it is known that groups of illegals work.

I don't think ICE needs a warrant to arrest illegal aliens.

We've had this discussion before and I think we came to an agreement that going door to door and dragging folks out by their hair would only produce sympathy supporters for the illegals. Let's get 'em where they work and get the employer too. Deporting all of those that come into contact with law enforcement and the business raids will probably give us all the illegal we can handle ..... for now anyway.
