Page 9 - Ice Agent News Today

That entices people to come. im extremely frustrated. what i have seen today is misleading the american people. people are dying. not in ice custody. >> if that isnt enough disagreement with immigration for you. the president promises ice raids starting this weekend to arrest and send home those with deportation notices. he says thousands will be sent home. one congress woman sent out an advisory saying if an ice agent comes to your house, you dont have to open the door. >> alright. thank you fo...

Yes, hes achieved that. there are many people who dont have a choice he says. but he knows the life he built with his life together in california could be wiped away with a knock on the door from an ice agent. he said he left el salvador for economic reasons after his first wife died in childbirth and could not make enough money to provide for his children there. he entered illegally in 2005 and missed a court date and a court ordered his deportation. he says that is his only crime. hes been try...

>> he is using i.c.e. deportation powers not to keep us safe but to keep immigrants in the shadows. >> we are here to let everybody know that they should take extra time to know their rights if they are approached by i.c.e. or federal agents. >> all across the country many advocacy groups are doing just that, by circulating flyers and posting on social media. organizations are working to tell undocumented migrants what their rights exactly are. let me bring in armando carmona. thanks for joining...

They might be the ones taken and ripped apart from their families. one of the most important things that were reminding not just immigrants but everyone, is that everybody in this country, every single person, has rights. regardless of your citizenship and regardless of your status. and one of the things were teaching -- were helping them and making sure that they know that if they dont feel safe in their homes, if someone approaches their door, if an i.c.e. agent comes knocking at the door, the...

This is about dhs using dmv drivers license databases. many of our photos, and using it as a facial recognition gold mine. neither congress nor state legislatures ever authorized such a system. and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are looking for appearances. im joined now by technology reporter from the "washington post" drew harwell. hes been following it from the outset. his headline, this draws lawmakers anger. drew, this is one of the few issues of the day right now thats uniting both d...

Cities. citizens of that city thats who loses. >> brett: is it more dangerous? >> absolutely more dangerous. think about this, if we have individuals protected, individuals we have outcries if you seen i.c.e. agent to call a hot line, its more dangerous for everybody. its more dangerous for the people going after. >> brett: the president he gives the democrats two week. heres the house speaker on her call with the president. >> when i saw that the president was going to have a raid. its so appal...

Unfortunately when you look at the facility to me, this is the homestead facility for unaccompanied minors, it wont change anything. this is a privately owned for-profit detention facility. it is the only kind in the country. and it is something that advocates are, as you can see behind me, very upset about. now, its possible that some of those children from that site in texas could end up here. they will probably be scattered around the country. when you look at whats happening across america, ...

And kids afraid to go to school. afraid they would come home and their parents would be gone. many people view as a rogue agency, people who picks up people in the middle of the night. everything is at stake for the folks. listen to what one advocate said about how lives can be unravelled. >> ive been getting calls from our members, from people directly impacted, fearful of what will happen from them. if they get a knock on the door from an i.c.e. agent that will uproot their whole lives. it wil...

Implication of that if you are an i.c.e. agent who might be involved in this? >> it was a bizarre episode to be sure. ive never seen the president announce an operation before the operation is actually conducted. ive been involved in hundreds of these operations. one of the cardinal rules is you dont discuss them in advance because you jeopardize the safety of your officers. and you tell the individuals youre going out to arrest youre coming. so what does it do to i.c.e. itself? its another kick...

They have the right to stay silent so they would not have to speak to an i.c.e. officer, and under the fourth amendment they did not have to allow anyone into their home, this would be an i.c.e. agent, who basically did not have a search warrant signed with their name on it. they were prepared. they say this means they will be prepared here in the future if there are any more threatened i.c.e. sweeps. now back to you. >> good morning to you, julian. >> good morning. >> i want to start with a sen...
