Among them 161 arrests were made in Los Angeles and some 200 in Atlanta, said local media reports. The authorities didn't reveal the total number of the arrests.

Gillian Christensen, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, said the crackdown was part of "routine" immigration enforcement actions.

A majority of those detained were serious criminals, including some who were convicted of murder and domestic violence, she said.

"We're talking about people who are threats to public safety or a threat to the integrity of the immigration system," she said.

Trump’s Immigration Raids Have Arrived in New York City

[OBSERVER] Make the Road New York, an immigrant advocacy group, told the media this evening that Immigration and Customs Enforcement sweeps on Staten Island netted five Mexican nationals in the past week and a half--coinciding with similar actions across the nation.

The raids took place on February 2, February 3, February 5 and February 8, according to speakers on the press call. All five individuals taken by ICE officers were male, and four of them have children who are U.S. citizens, the group reported.

Make the Road believes several of the men are now in New Jersey detention centers

#8  Seattle area tv news last night had an immigrations right sponkes-snowflake on, and although not crying her eyes were pretty red, and she raised the question that the raids were being done in the sanctuary states; was it possible that the administration was targeting these areas?

#7  One has served in our military for 8 years.

Serving in the American military is a path to citizenship, CC Reader, and one hopes your friend has applied. But merely being good people, on the other hand, does not entitle anyone to be here who came illegally. Their parents put them at risk of deportation by bringing them, as well as not fitting in back home should they at any point be shipped back.

#5  These illegal aliens ought to be encouraged to squat on George Soros' and other lefties' properties while awaiting deportation.

#3  Any country that doesn't enforce its own borders should be designated drop off zones for any deportees.

Mexico certainly enforces theirs, Canada not so much so instead of dealing with all the crap to send them to their "home" country just send them all to Canada. There's lots of room up north, right?
