Immigrants in North Carolina and South Carolina shouldn’t worry about being arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as they evacuate their homes or at the emergency shelters, an ICE spokesperson said Wednesday. Bryan Cox, spokesperson for ICE in the southern region, said everyone should follow local evacuation orders during Hurricane Florence. “Our highest priority remains the preservation of life and safety,” Cox said in an email. “In consideration of these circumstances, there will be no immigration enforcement initiatives associated with evacuations or sheltering related to Florence, except in the event of a serious public safety threat.” Hurricane Florence has forced more than 1 million residents in the Carolinas and Virginia to evacuate their homes. By Thursday afternoon, at least 13,000 people had filled North Carolina shelters, said a spokesperson for North Carolina’s Emergency Management Division. In South Carolina, there were 4,350 evacuees registered in the 61 shelters open in South Carolina, said Thom Berry, a South Carolina emergency management spokesperson. The storm is expected to make landfall on North Carolina’s southern coast sometime Thursday night or early Friday morning. The storm is expected to dump as much as 40 inches of rain in some isolated areas of the Carolinas. The outer wind bands of the storm began hitting the Carolinas coast early Thursday. Evacuees seeking emergency shelter in North Carolina are not required to show identification for assistance, said Ryan Hill, spokesperson for North Carolina’s Emergency Response Team. Most of the emergency shelters in South Carolina are requiring identification to keep track of how many people are seeking assistance, Berry said. The shelters are accepting any type of photo identification and are not turning people away based on immigration status, Berry said. Poster Comment: The DACA "Dream Students" and other illegal aliens will continue to receive sanctuary. They haven't made any significant efforts to deport them yet, so why would they start now? Sanctuary Nation USA is the official policy of the ICE Trump administration. President Trump demands that congress do something about DACA, so "Bill of Love" DACA+ amnesty for the illegal aliens, aka Comprehensive Immigration Reform. Of course these future voters won't be rounded up and deported during a hurricane, or any other time. It's the way that the D&R party rolls.

Round them up, herd they them back to wet back land. Stop kissing their ass. BTW: did Tramp support this action?? Plus the DACA people are throwing this is the face of the American People.
BTW: did Tramp support this action?? It's been a few days and President Trump hasn't fired anyone at ICE yet. So ya, he supports Reconquista. He's pushing for DACA amnesty. Pandering to illegal aliens may have worked for Dubya to get reelected in '04, but hopefully those days are over. Almost anyone but Trump 2020, just say NO to Aztlan!
