New ICE memo gives deportation officers more leeway to conduct warrantless arrests

A new government memo disclosed in federal court granted Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers more leeway to carry out warrantless arrests of those suspected of being in the U.S. illegally.

The directive expands the grounds ICE agents and officers can cite to conclude that getting an administrative immigration arrest warrant for someone they encounter during an operation would give that person an opportunity to flee while a warrant is sought.

The memo suggests the rules are designed to give ICE greater flexibility to quickly arrest unauthorized immigrants who are not the original targets of an operation but are nonetheless encountered and found to have violated U.S. immigration law. Those detentions are known as "collateral arrests," and typically involve immigrants accused of civil immigration violations but who lack serious criminal histories or any at all.

The memo was issued by acting ICE director Todd Lyons on Wednesday and submitted to a federal court in Minnesota on Friday. Its contents were first reported by The New York Times.

The American public has made it clear that WE DO NOT WANT THIS FUCKING SHIT yet they continue to force themselves on us like a pedophile rapist on Epstein’s island.

How many more US citizens will have to be executed before this insanity is stopped?

Donald trump has gone from raping underage girls to raping entire countries now, because nobody is stopping him.

Last night. We've been going to this Mexican/Salvadoran place for literally years. Their owner and staff are almost like family to us. Our cat rescue group does two fundraisers at this restaurant a year. I would seriously be arrested to protect these wonderful people.

I told the owner as we were leaving last night that "If La Migra shows up here, you get on Facebook and alert people. You have a whole lot of loyal customers who can be here in minutes." He really appreciated it.
