Exclusive: Trump DHS Plans Immigration Raids on Churches Over Holidays

[demmiblue]

WORCESTER – Agencies within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) and Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) intend to implement a comprehensive plan to target Spanish-speaking churches across the country during the upcoming holiday season between Thanksgiving, Nov. 27, and Christmas, Dec. 25.

Three U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) attorneys, including one assigned to the U.S. Attorney’s office in the district of Massachusetts, one to the district of Rhode Island office, and the third posted at an office in New York told This Week in Worcester they received briefings on the plan.

The attorney in the Massachusetts office said that they attend a Baptist church in Massachusetts and is a registered Republican. He said that he does not see how this plan is in line with either American values or Biblical doctrine.

The attorney in the Rhode Island office confirmed both the briefing and internal discussions about the legal issues surrounding arrests at churches over the past three months.

11. Spanish Congregations

There once was a Homeland plan drawn
To raid Spanish congregations at dawn —
From ICE and CBP,
They’d patrol faithfully,
In churches where faithful were relied upon.

Between Thanksgiving and Christmas so bright,
They plotted to act in the dead of the night;
In sanctuaries they’d roam,
Where Spanish is home,
To enforce laws by bureaucratic might.

But three DOJ lawyers stood tall,
From Boston, Providence, New York’s hall;
They’d been briefed on the scheme,
And they cried, “It’s a dream /
Of values that deeply appall!”

The Mass. attorney said, “I attend
A Baptist church — I cannot defend
This plan’s chilling scope
Clashing faith with their hope,
It betrays what our Scriptures intend.”

In Rhode Island too they expressed
That legal concerns had not been suppressed:
Arrests at a church
Would deeply besmirch
The ideals our nation professed.

14. Of course they do.

None of us, resident or non can have a day of peace. The bigger the holiday the bigger they will F up the day. Imagine being so full of hate that you would carry out these attacks. Ya gotta wonder what those guys are hopped up on. It’s not good, that’s for sure!
