ICE Raids

There is always two sides to a story. Guess what, we will only see and look at one side, the side we believe in.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

There is an "untold" story behind the Immigration Raids.

Politicians and Officials of Sanctuary cities and their states will not disclose this.

But here it is.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO)

The mission of ICE and ERO is to protect the homeland through the identification, arrest and removal of those who undermine the safety of our communities, our national security and the integrity of U.S. immigration laws.

That is their job.

ERO uses law enforcement and intelligence-driven leads to identify aliens who may present a threat to national security or public safety, or otherwise undermine the integrity of U.S. immigration laws. ICE officers conduct targeted enforcement actions after thorough investigations.

Governor Newsom & Mayor Bass

The Mayor of Los Angeles and the Governor of California are blaming ICE and Trump for the civil unrest in the city.

This may be true but the untold reality is this.

ICE 287(g) Program allows ICE — through the delegation of specified immigration officer duties — to enhance collaboration with state and local law enforcement partners to protect the homeland through the arrest and removal of aliens who undermine the safety of our nation’s communities and the integrity of U.S. immigration laws.

But Sanctuary city officials, local law enforcement and their State officials are not cooperating and will not cooperate with ICE.

ICE has identified people for removal inside jails and other places but no one in the Sanctuary cities (such as LA) have been cooperating. These people who would have been safely taken into custody the "normal" way but no one in the Sanctuary cities and states were cooperating.

So what did ICE do to do their jobs? Yes we saw that in the news. They had to go into neighborhoods, homes, businesses and other places that were available for them to go to.

Result

The people of Los Angeles fought back, they blocked, they formed barricades and many other things to prevent ICE officers from doing their jobs.

Why? Because their elected officials have empowered them to -- not to cooperate with ICE.

They went to the streets, they vandalized property. And people with criminal minds broke into businesses, looted stores and committed other crimes.

Chaos

LAPD Chief said on TV that things went out of control. It did.

Granted, a couple of days later he changed his tune. Why? He forgot he had to keep singing the same chorus as the Mayor and the Governor.

He had to. What happened to the LA Fire Chief is really still fresh in everyone's eyes.
