We have some more details for you on the nationwide immigration crackdown which resulted in the arrest of 956 people.
It is the most since Donald Trump returned to power, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
A number of federal agencies with newly expanded detention powers were involved in the raids in a number of cities including Chicago, Newark, New Jersey, and Miami.
Since taking office, Trump has carried out 21 executive actions to overhaul the US immigration system.
An unnamed man told CBS News, external, the BBC’s US news partner, that ICE took his wife during on the Miami raids this weekend.
“It’s despicable what they’re doing right now,” he told CBS. “It’s very embarrassing.”
He said his wife was in the process of getting citizenship when ICE arrived: “They just came and they snatched her.”
Last week, Newark Mayor Ras Barka said undocumented residents and citizens - including one military veteran - were detained without a warrant during an ICE raid of a local business.
At 1,000 per day, that’s not even going to be a dent. And, how many of those arrests are just citizens who they nabbed because they were brown? Glad we are focusing on the things that matter 🙄
It’s not about making a dent, it’s about striking fear. That part is working.
No, you see the price of a dozen eggs lowers by $0.0001 for every illegal deported. So if we just deport a few million, I can finally get back to my once-a-day habit of souffles with crème anglais. /S
Ahh yes, the egg-o-meter. The true measurement of immigration! ;)
