ICE has quietly doubled its immigrant arrest quota, arresting over 10,000 migrants in just five days in sweeping raids across the country. According to the New York Times, ICE officials were told earlier this week to ramp up their daily arrest quotas to 2,000 per day.

Among the raids being reported in local media are a mass arrest of more than 30 workers at the Scholar Crafts plant in Birmingham, Alabama; workplace raids at two laundromats in Madison, Wisconsin; courthouse immigration arrests in South Florida; a Mexican father who was arrested while driving to a soccer game in Salt Lake City, Utah; arrests of dairy farm workers in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia; arrests of several workers across Montana; dozens of ICE arrests throughout Kansas City during its hosting of World Cup games; and the arrest of a 56-year-old Catholic nun on her way to Mass in McAllen, Texas. ICE agents also arrested at least three people during immigration check-ins at New York City courthouses this week in violation of federal court orders that explicitly barred such arrests.

The Supreme Court ruling this week upheld the Trump Administration’s revoking of Temporary Protected Status for asylum seekers from Haiti and Syria, affecting at least 356,000 people. Activists and immigrant communities in Springfield, Ohio, where many Haitian asylum seekers have settled, are bracing for “the mother of all ICE raids” after Stephen Miller voiced his enthusiastic support for “finally removing all those Haitian illegal immigrants” after the Supreme Court decision.

The Illinois Secretary of State also issued a statement warning of intensified ICE enforcement activity throughout the state, and advised residents to alert the state’s PlateWatch hotline if they see illegally altered license plates on cars, which has been identified as a common ICE tactic as the state has refused to issue temporary government plates to federal ICE agents.

 ICE agents reportedly showed up to a U.S. citizen’s house in Rochester, NY recently with a warning after the resident wrote a three-paragraph email to Tom Homan criticizing ICE’s mass deportation program and comparing Homan to a Nazi. Mother Jones also reported this week on a previously unpublicized letter to Congress penned by Sen. Ed Markey and Rep. Maxwell Frost demanding information on a rumored database of protestors labeled “domestic terrorists” by DHS.

Are you complaining or praising these guys for enforcing the law?

You post isn't clear.

Not enough, that number needs to be doubled or tripled. Under old senile Biden, hundreds of thousands of illegal squatters entered the U.S. and inflicted assaults, murders and intimidation on the good citizens of the United States.
