Homeland Security captures 680 illegals in first major raids of Trump era
2017-02-14
[Wash Times] Homeland Security netted more than 680 immigrants last week in the first major series of raids since President Trump took office, sparking a feverish response from advocates who said agents went after rank-and-file migrants whom the Obama administration had considered off limits.

Secretary John F. Kelly insisted that the raids were standard procedure and said they focused on those with criminal records, just like agents did under President Obama. Most of the rest were fugitives who were ignoring deportation orders or had already been deported and managed to sneak back into the U.S. -- also priorities under Mr. Obama.

But activists reacted with horror, urging boycotts and rallies and saying a "campaign of terror" has descended on their communities.

#5  Do journalists whine when daddy gets sent to prison? He's going to be away for at least several years, tearing the family apart.

#3  If you listen to the MSM and immigration lawyers, Trump is breaking up families, separating children from their parents and sending moms, sending back tax-paying illegal alien Mexicans, and moms and maids back to Mexico. If you listen to more level and reasoned heads, Trump is deporting criminals, i.e. people with a record--the same people Obama said he was going to deport in a 2015 speech. The hypocrisy of the left and the MSM abounds.

#1  Any media outlet going to compare the number captured by the former POTUS with the first three weeks of the current POTUS?
No? They'd rather have activists reacting with horror.
