Ice Plans to Arrest and Deport Families

It sounds like something out of a dramatic Netflix series, but what’s about to happen has not pause button, and is very real.  ICE plans on conducting raids this weekend on immigrants who they have documented as “illegally” residing in the United States.  Here is what you and your family should know:

1. The raids will start Sunday (not sure why they’re providing warnings), but they claim Sunday’s plan to arrest thousands of immigrants will indeed happen.
2. People who are at risk are those who have already received court orders to be removed from the United States.
3. Authorities say the raids will occur in 10 cities and last “multiple days”
4. Other people who should also be concerned are those listed as “collateral”.  This is problematic because if you are an immigrant who is on the scene during a raid, “Collateral” means you could also be detained even though you are not the initial target.
5. ICE raids are absolutely going to happen: “They’re absolutely going to happen. There’s approximately a million people in this country with removal orders. And of course that isn’t what ICE will go after in this, but that’s the pool of people who have been all the way through the due process chain,” says US Citizenship and Immigration Services director Ken Cuccinelli

This is America ladies and gentlemen – 2019.
