The Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” net is catching illegal immigrants, both near the once-porous Southern Border and far from it.
Over the past month, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested at least 16 people in western and central Montana, with nine charged with being in the country illegally.
Ten arrests came at a mushroom harvesting camp in Mineral County, while other arrests came at various locations around the state, The Helena Independent Record reported.
According to a report in The Missoulian, several of those arrested had previously been deported.
Raids by ICE have been stepped up all across the country.
In Sandusky, Ohio, a raid on a flower and garden center netted 114 individuals, many of whom are currently undergoing deportation proceedings, NBC reported.
More than 160 people were arrested last week in the Los Angeles area after ICE stepped up its efforts against criminals, CNBC reported.
In remarks prepared for a Thursday speech in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Attorney General Jeff Sessions defended the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy. Sessions said the administration is giving Americans what they want.
“The American people have been begging and pleading with our elected officials for an immigration system that is lawful and that serves our national interest — one that we can be proud of. There is nothing mean-spirited about that. They are right, decent and just to ask for this,” Sessions said. “But for more than a decade now, the elites and Washington insiders have prioritized the interests of certain corporate interests and activist groups over what is best for the American people.”
Poster Comment:
I can remember the old Tomato farm near Palwaukee Airport in Illinois. We would go out there and pick a couple of bushels of tomatoes. The old man was such a cheapskate he would not give us a key for the trunk. What if we had a flat and could not get to the spare? We were out there picking tomatoes one time and when we finished the farmer wanted to look in the trunk. We told him we did not have a key and he thought we were stealing tomatoes. I told him if he had been watching at all he would have seen the trunk lid was never open.
There were also several shacks out back the migrant workers would use during the harvest season. I imagine they were all Mexicans and maybe members of United Farm Workers union.
