The ICE raids orchestrated by the Trump Administration start today. Many captive by ICE have been without food and water and have been forced to drink out of toilets and have gotten their families separated from them. What do you think of all this?

Are they really going to be raiding though? He's said it before. Pretty stupid move when the current detainees, cases, and facilities need a lot of attention. We shall see.

Hope the camps themselves get raided/liberated.
It seems pretty weird that there are so many public announcements about it. I'm still not really clear on whether those are deliberate announcements, Trump shooting his mouth off, leaks, or some combination of all of the above. You'd think it'd be a lot more sensible to organize fairly quietly, but I suppose there just aren't enough personnel to round up that many illegal aliens.
They are enforcing the immigration laws by arresting those who are here illegally. Someone needs to do it since Congress is failing to address the problem. This time however, they are focusing on illegal immigrant criminals. I have no issues with Federal authorized agencies doing their jobs as long as they themselves follow the laws.

They're only going after criminals. Why would we want criminals in this country?
We have 12 illegal immigrants in America and those are the ones who weren't afraid to come forward and admit it. They're all working. You can't just cut 12 million people out of your workforce without crippling your economy.
If Trump isn't going to get rid of these 12 million, nobody is. It's time to make them legal with 4 year work visas.

The people targeted in these ICE raids are people who have already been previously detained, were released on their own recognizance on the promise they would attend immigration court, did attend immigration court, and were issued removal orders by immigration judges, which they ignored and remained the country illegally...
They aren't going to camps, they are are being immediately deported.
I know exactly where my passport and citizenship are. Am all set... it’s signed by Bush, so no worries of evil democrat planting.
Edit: oh shit... I wanted to go to a hardware store today. If those raids have any sense, those places would be on lock down. Not going anywhere near one today...
Edit 2: Could the poll be updated to have a “I know where my papers are” as an option? For me that supersedes the other options.

Dang, the folks in Denver aren't exactly demonstrating that they're just good Americans like anyone else and all they need is some paperwork.
AURORA, Colo. (CBS4)– Hundreds of protesters gathered in Aurora on Friday evening to march to the ICE detention facility where illegal and undocumented immigrants are being housed. They also removed the U.S. flag, replaced it with a Mexican flag, and spray painted graffiti on a Blue Lives Matter flag before it was seen flying upside down on the flag pole.
