There are too many people these days trying to blame just about everything
on Donald Trump as well as his innovative immigration policies. The mass
hysteria managed to transform routine home raids into something “unprecedented”
and “unbelievable”. Nevertheless, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement are
confirming that these raids are nothing more than routine checkups and are
conducted on a regular basis.
Even though the ICE official representatives have not managed to provide
more info on exactly how many people were arrested on Thursday and whether or
not they were officially taken into custody, the agency is nevertheless saying
that all of those people were arrested in line with a targeted approach. Hence,
only the people who were posing a threat to the community were targeted during
the raid.
The ICE also states that known child sex offenders, gang members as well as
foreign nationals along with the substantial drug trafficking history were the
main targets. Hence, it is unclear how the so-called “activists” still want
these clearly dangerous individual to remain on US soil.
Nevertheless, the “activists”, such as Jorge-Mario Cabrera - communication
director for the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of L.A., are still
spreading the mass hysteria and are claiming that the deported people were not
criminals and that most of those people were individuals with only deportation
orders.
The immigration raids were conducted at numerous houses in San Bernardino,
Van Nuys, Downey, Oxnard and Santa Paula. The Coalition for Humane Immigrant
Rights of L.A lawyers are claiming that more than a hundred people are already
awaiting to be processed in downtown Los Angeles.
In their attempt to enhance the hysteria around the policies of the new
president, the immigration supporters and advocates gathered a meeting nearby
the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown L.A. They were protesting against
the lawful actions conducted by the ICE. Furthermore, Aliso Street to through
traffic near the Alvarado Street intersection was closed by them for nearly two
hours and all of them were chanting like cult members: “Immigrants are welcome
here”, without even thinking about the consequences of their actions.
CHIRLA Director of Policy Joseph Villa who also attended the meeting,
claims that his organization has hundreds of calls from lawyers, who are saying
that their clients were picked up during the raids. The CHIRLA Director of
Policy is also claiming that the ICE does not release the names of those
arrested and does not allow them to see their lawyers.
Furthermore, California Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León also
released a statement on Thursday in which he asked federal representatives to
provide the numbers – how many women, men and children were detained during the
raids. He also insisted on getting information on what the processing time will
be and what are the main reasons for detention. There was also the question of
offering them lawyers services.
The mass hysteria continues and there are plenty of people who are more
than happy to build a reputation on it. Ameena Quazi from National Lawyers
Guild L.A. claims that almost certainly there were many more people who were
arrested and the activists are unable to contact them.
The lawyer claims that there is info on the wider geography of the raids
and she is also claiming that people were pulled from their homes.
The lawful and rightful policies also affected the U.S. Representative Tony
Cárdenas (his jurisdiction is covering parts of the San Fernando Valley
including Van Nuys) also claims that the ICE is conducting “outrageous”
activities, demanding to get more information on the matter.
There are about a million of
immigrants residing without all the legal papers in Los Angeles as well as
Orange counties. This is according to the report that was issued Thursday by
the Pew Research Center.
It is quite strange to see
all those “activists” so concerned about the criminals – illegal immigrants,
who are not only living in US without the documents – most of them are posing a
real threat to common people around us. There are plenty of criminals, who are
known for drug trafficking, child molesting – and the “activists” apparently do
not think that there is something seriously wrong with the fact that these men
and women are still walking on the streets around them.
