When it comes to being arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, there is no difference between a violent felon and an undocumented worker with a traffic ticket.

If you are in the United States without the proper papers, you are subject to deportation, Tom Feeley, the upstate New York field office director of ICE, said Wednesday.

"We were ordered not to fully enforce the law under the previous administration," said Feeley, who is based in Buffalo, said. "Under President Trump, we are enforcing the law the way Congress wrote it. If it's a heinous crime, like a Columbian drug lord who was a cartel member who we just deported or a rapist, a murderer, a pedophile or somebody who is here illegally, we are going to enforce the law. We make no apology for that."

That should generate a lot of positive discussion on a real conservative site.
