'Everyone is in jeopardy': Henrico (Va) leader warns about reported ICE activity across county, door-to-door visits

Some of the comments on the Facebook link below are just horrible.




HENRICO COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — A Henrico County leader is warning residents about reports of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity in the county, including reports of agents going door-to-door.

She said these reports are coming from all around the county, but particularly its Three Chopt district and Short Pump area.

In general, ICE may be visiting the Short Pump area in particular because it is home to “perhaps the largest immigrant population in the county,” according to Roundtree.

Roundtree cautioned residents from assuming that everyone in a uniform is working in immigration enforcement. The Henrico County Police Division does not have a standing agreement to participate in daily ICE operations, as some other agencies both in Virginia and across America do.

It’s a 5 minute reel linked on the story. The article very well sums it up too.

Title-Is ICE surging in Columbus? Reports of sightings spread

snip-"After a period over the holidays where activity seemed to slow, according to activists who work with immigrants, videos and pictures of masked men wearing plain clothes and sometimes “ICE” vests are again flooding immigrant social media groups, WhatsApp groups and the Columbus subreddit."

snip-"The jump in reports prompted Legal Immigration Services in Dublin to send a Jan. 14 notification to clients, warning them, said Maqueli Eldredge, a paralegal at the firm."
