Immigrants and advocates of immigrants in Florida on Tuesday, April 1, 20125, denounced a partnership between local police departments statewide and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents as part of President Donald Trump’s aggressive deportation strategy.
More than 100 undocumented immigrants were arrested Thursday at Tallahassee construction sites, including at an apartment project near Florida State University, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

State and federal law-enforcement officers handcuffed construction workers and loaded them into vans before taking them away from the site near the university. Most of the building under construction, called Perla at the Enclave, is set to be apartments for FSU students.
 

A news release on the Immigration and Customs Enforcement website said several law-enforcement agencies were involved in the sweep. It said one person was taken into custody for resisting arrest and was being charged with four counts of assault on law-enforcement officers.

“These types of enforcement actions aim to eliminate illegal employment, holding employers accountable and protecting employment opportunities for America’s lawful workforce,” Nicholas Ingegno, assistant special agent in charge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations Tallahassee, said in a prepared statement.

It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

This was big news over here. Had to laugh at the comments from the FSU students.  Their biggest concern was that this would delay the completion of those apartments designated for Student Housing.  Oh the horror!
