Homeland Security Plans Massive Roundups of Undocumented Immigrants

by JULIA AINSLEY and ANDREW BLANKSTEIN

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security is planning nationwide raids to target 8,400 undocumented immigrants later this month, according to three law enforcement officials and an internal document that described the plan as "the largest operation of its kind in the history of ICE," an acronym for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The raids, scheduled over five days beginning Sept. 17, are being called "Operation Mega," according to the document, a memo circulated agency-wide in August.

Sounds intimidating, but I wonder if all of these folks have criminal records.

Also, the number "8,400" isn't so large, considering the millions that are here.

Not even a proverbial "drop in the bucket"...

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Yeah. Do that every day for two and a half years, and that'd get rid of the 11 million basic load they claim. Finish out the eight of a two-termer, and it might make a dent, provided something slows down the reflux...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
