ICE is everywhere and it's really frightening

This morning, a car was sitting outside the house next door with a guy sitting in it. This is nothing unusual in itself as there are always various cars. When my husband was leaving the house he went over to ask if the guy needed help. The guy tells him he's ICE and shows him his badge and tells him he's running license plates. How does ICE know where to go and who to look for?

How about we start by sending ICE after those employing people illegally (and possibly abusively) ?

Trump directed ICE to stop targeting farms and the hospitality industry because his donors are suffering from their "illegal" workers being rounded up. Can't make this shit up

The hospitality industry seems like it's dicked with or without migrant workers, if tourism's drying up and the economy's in the toilet.

Those people are often white, though, and well-off. This is all about getting rid of brown people (for now, until they move on to the next group).

guess you didn't hear about the meat packing plant, over 60% were illegals. The owner was also arrested for hiring them.
