    (CNSNews.com) – An Immigration and Customs Enforcement official told the House Homeland Security subcommittee on Thursday that illegal immigrants who witness crimes by gang members like MS-13 should not fear being deported if they come forward, because there are protections for witnesses who cooperate with law enforcement.

    During a hearing on Combating Transnational Gangs Through Information Sharing held by the Counterterrorism and Intelligence Subcommittee, Rep. Kathleen Rice (D-N.Y.) asked Raymond Villaneuva, assistant director in charge of international operations for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, how he deals with the fear that illegals will be punished for coming forward about MS-13 gang members.

That isn't going to coax them to come forward.
They fear the MS-13 savages even more.

I do not believe illegals were coming forward in droves to rat out MS13 before ICE started tightening down.
