ICE raids are reportedly set to begin on July 14 in at least 10 cities, but the scope of the initial raid may spread far wider
report also quotes officials who said that"agents have expressed apprehensions about arresting babies and young children," and says that if families are apprehended, they may be held in hotel rooms if there is not enough space in family detention centers.
When reached for comment by MTV News, ICE spokesman Matthew Bourke said,"Due to law-enforcement sensitivities and the safety and security of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel, the agency will not offer specific details related to enforcement operations." The agency did not respond to specific questions regarding agency protocol for child immigrants, or minors who were citizens and might be impacted if their parent or guardian was targeted in the raids, nor did it respond to request for comment about how the agency plans to carry out these raids given the substantial overcrowding and life-threatening conditions of many detention facilities.
