Federal immigration officers launched a blitz of raids across six states on Thursday and Friday, seizing an unknown number of illegal aliens, according to multiple reports.
Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Gillian Christensen confirmed agents have raided homes and workplaces in and around Atlanta, Los Angeles and other cities, according to the Washington Post.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency said claims, as the Post also reported Friday, that people have been targeted at checkpoints and community sweeps are "false, dangerous and irresponsible."
"These reports create mass panic and put communities and law enforcement personnel in unnecessary danger. Any groups falsely reporting such activities are doing a disservice to those they claim to support," ICE said in a statement to the Washington Examiner.
ICE said the majority of those detained were adult men.

Democrats are losing voters left and right!
ReplyDeleteIf they are here illegally, they have to go and come back with an application in 5 years. The ones the State Dept. is letting in now are going to be considered "Legal" for a while, so Trump needs to deport the illegal ones in matching numbers or better. GO TRUMP!
