'We're going to deport ICE': Lehigh County evicts Homeland Security over back rent
ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Lehigh County officials have started the legal process of evicting the U.S. Department of Homeland Security from a county-owned office space after the federal government went nearly three years without paying rent.
County sources say the Hamilton Street space has primarily been used by Homeland Security Investigations agents assisting in efforts to curb human trafficking throughout the Lehigh Valley.
But Lehigh County Controller Mark Pinsley and Lehigh County Executive Josh Siegel focused much of their attention in a Tuesday news conference on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. While HSI is a part of ICE, it is not involved in the deportation or removal of people illegally in the country.
The two Democrats referred to the unrest across the country as masked ICE agents armed with long guns have confronted people on the street or in their homes in cities across America. Many of these confrontations have ended with American citizens being detained or, in a high-profile case out of Minneapolis earlier this month, the death of an American woman.
