The deportations begin: Distinctly Catholic: The executive order pledging an increase in the number of deportation agents was not met with the same outcry as the ban on migrants from certain Muslim countries.
MGB:_Nice anti Trump column and totally wrong. The fear matches the propoganda, but the memo by Trump on hiring more agents was essentially about the budget cycle. It had nothing to do with the latest round of arrests and deportations, which largely targeted aliens with criminal offenses who have not yet been deported, but who knew deportation was certain. This enhanced attention started under President Obama. It has been going on for a while now. Obama may have let Dreamers off the hook, but that simly allowed greater attention to those who should be deported. Of course, the question is whether enhanced deportation is targeting dangerous criminals or DUI offenders (which are dangerous, but not violent if they don’t drink and drive). There was already fear in the immigrant community because of the Obama initiative. The current cycle is simply a continuation of that.
