Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents tell 9News that 40 people captured in a federal raid in Fairfield won't be deported immediately.

"We've identified 40 people who qualify for Humanitarian Release," said Richard Rocha, an ICE spokesman.

"Those receiving a Humanitarian Release may have health issues or be the sole caregiver for a family member or child," continued Rocha.

In the meantime families of those detained have been calling local Hispanic activists non-stop.

"I've been receiving calls since the incident," said Matilde Evans, a tax professional.

"They are so scared. They are asking for suggestions and I said, at this point, there is nothing to do," finished Evans.

Luis Galarza, a freelance court interpreter, says the United States is hypocritical.

"We use these people to take care of, literally, our dirty laundry – but then we don't want them to drive, to have all the other benefits, or to gain legal status in this nation."

ICE set up a Detainee Locator Hotline for families to find loved ones.

That number is (866) 341-3858.

Galarza says some Hispanic people are afraid to call the number because they fear it is a trap.

ICE says the call remains confidential.

So now do drug dealers qualify for "humanitarian releases" as well?

Detain the kids and deport them with the parents.

There are loads of US citizens in who have health problems and/or are the sole caregiver for children or elderly people yet they aren't released, why should these criminals be?

The law is the law.

The president or Chertoff needs to make a public announcement on all TV stations and radio especially Spanish stations.

If you are in the country Illegally you must leave and if you don't you will be removed.There will be no more excuses and if you don't leave the US will not be responsible nor will the government acknowledge any complaints in regards to treatment because you have been warned.

That would stop this whinning real quick !

"We've identified 40 people who qualify for Humanitarian Release," said Richard Rocha, an ICE spokesman.

"Humanitarian Release" is just another name for "Catch and Release."

Hmmm..........now I guess we need to screen our prisons and release all murderers, rapist, child molesters, etc. who are ill or are single parents.
