ICE arrests record number of immigrants in single day, including hundreds at scheduled appointments

[Maximum Overkill 1,988]

Immigration and Customs Enforcement made the most immigrant arrests in a single day in its history Tuesday, detaining more than 2,200 people, according to a source familiar with the arrests and an ICE spokesperson who confirmed the numbers, as the agency responds to pressure from the White House to rapidly and dramatically increase arrests.

Hundreds of the people who were arrested had been enrolled in ICE’s Alternative to Detention (ATD) program, three sources familiar with the arrests said. Under the program, ICE releases undocumented immigrants who are deemed not to be threats to public safety and then keeps track of them through ankle monitors, smartphone apps or other geolocating programs, along with periodic check-ins at ICE facilities.

Not bad but I'll reserve my praise for when they ramp up to 22k in a day.

I was hoping for 1 million a day, but that'll work.

East LA would be close to that.

Immigrants trying to do the right thing and keep their scheduled appointment, then get arrested for deportation.

This will sit well with the Latinos that voted for Trump, who were not expecting he would go after friends, family and neighbors they know.

If they wanted to do the right thing they would get the f*** out and go home.  And I think you underestimate how many legal Latinos don't like illegal immigration.

This is so true it can't be overstated.

Been seeing a lot of raids of construction sites.  But are they doing anything to the companies that are hiring the illegals?

Why don't you look into that and get back to the group with your findings. 

Hint: You can find anyone who will agree with you on x that you can pretend is an expert.

I have no idea but they should be.  Bear in mind that a lot of illegals steal legitimate social security numbers and identities so the employers may not even know.  In some cases I'm sure they do and those companies should be penalized.
