ICE raids food processing plants across Mississippi on Wednesday, picking up 680 workers.
Immigration enforcement authorities raided food processing plants across Mississippi on Wednesday, picking up 680 workers in what was being billed as the biggest single-day, one-state sweep in U.S. history, officials said."While we are a nation of immigrants, more than that, first and foremost, we are a nation of laws," said U.S. Attorney Mike Hurst of the Southern District of Mississippi."They have to come here legally or they shouldn’t come here at all.
Trump has long railed against illegal immigration and began his presidential campaign by declaring that Mexican immigrants are"bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime" and that they're"rapists." "This is a long-term operation that's been going on," Albence said."Our enforcement operations are being done on a racially neutral basis. Investigations are based on evidence."
In light of Wednesday's raids, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Southern Poverty Law Center both issued advisories urging anyone approached by ICE to remain silent, not open any doors without seeing a warrant, and demand to speak to a lawyer.
