Thread: IL:ICE comes to arrest IA's after gas station attend. calls?

Here is a lead to chase down. Several discussion boards are saying that ICE came and arrested 19 illegal aliens after a gas station called to report them. This is the first I've heard of something like this. This is what they are saying;


19 adults (14 men and 5 women) and 5 children detained in Mattoon,
Illinois.

Today at about 4:30a.m. a group of migrant workers in route to
Pontiac, Illinois from Florida stopped to fill up on gas. Moments
later the police arrived and asked everyone for identification. Later
it was discovered that the gas station attendant called and reported
that "illegals" where at the gas station.

All the migrants and their children were arrested. After more than 7
hours the families with children were released, however they have a
court date on Monday. Eleven workers still remain in detention.

Many details are still unclear and as soon as more information is
available it’ll be posted here.

If there is anyone near the Springfield area that can help in anyway
please let me know.

ICE STATEMENT REGARDING MIGRANT WORKERS & AMERICAN CHILDREN DETAINED
IN MATTOON, ILLINOIS

ICE was contacted early Tuesday morning by the Coles County Sheriff’s
Department regarding 3 vehicles with suspected illegal aliens in
Mattoon . ICE agents from our Springfield , Illinois office responded
and arrived at the scene around 8:30am. A total of 24 individuals were
interviewed. Two were legal permanent residents from Mexico and were
released. There were six U.S. citizen children ranging in age from 10
months to 3 years in age. These six children were and five of their
parents (illegal aliens from Mexico , 2 males, 3 females) were
released for humanitarian reasons, and the parents were instructed to
report to the ICE office in Springfield on Monday for processing. The
remaining 11 were arrested and taken into ICE custody and will be
placed into removal proceedings. These 11 include 5 Guatemalan males,

ICE actually came for this after a call from a station attendant????

Wow!! This is somewhat heartening, to see ICE actually doing their job and responding to the real issue, people here illegally.

I can't verify this, but I'll watch to see if they do post more information. We can always call the public relations ICE officer as well to see if it is true. And more then likely it will make the press in the next two days.

If true though...

Yeah, I know, the shock and awe of them actually doing their jobs......

I can imagine an apartment complex full of illegal aliens all being systematically lead away (my places I am talking about).....

Could you imagine the field day this ICE crew would have in Southern California if they were actually paid by the arrest?? They'd be raking in the $$$$$ (of course we know that the sympathizer politicians would be rolling around on the floors of their offices having seizures over it all).

I would call the police for the sake of the passengers and children. There is no such thing as a 24 passenger automobile. Too much weight even for a high occupancy van.

Human trafficking. I bet a bunch of them don't show up in court. Interesting, they came from Florida. I've been seeing a lot of Florida plates in Texas lately.

If true, this is good.
Now if we can get ICE to respond like that up here in Northern Illinois that would be great.

Opps - I forgot our boneheaded county government made us a sanctuary!

I got it! I’ll print up, and hand out “Free Gasâ€

and the parents were instructed to
report to the ICE office in Springfield on Monday for processing.

do they really think these illegals will show their faces for processing and get deported???? why release them? really stupid

Unfortunately, this is how it is when they have "American" kids. If they don't show up for hearings, they will become fugitives. When caught again, automatic deportation, no hearing. Having US citizen children will no longer help them.

How did the officers determine the kids are citizens? Were they carrying birth certificates? They should be investigated since we know illegals "share" legal documents with family and friends.

This is what our local police should be allowed to do and we may actually get some where with this problem, oh but that is why so many are fighting against local police carrying out enforcement , sorry I run amuck!
