could then become acceptable for any group deemed criminal like journalist if put on ignore this weekend
I think I read 2000 families are targeted as opposed to undocumented millions here in US from everywhere . I may be wrong but its centralized to 10 cities
It will probably be another Miller Trump production which may mean another new low blow will be installed
See my post below.

The claim is that these are to be people who have current deportation orders.
How one does that on a mass basis is yet to be seen.
Let's say that you, Joe Blow, are under a deportation order.
Law enforcement agents arrive at your last known residence and say, "We are here to arrest Joe Blow."
Naturally, you step forward and say "Oh, that's me" and hop into the back of the van, right?
No, that's not how it works. Instead, they go to your last known residence, grab anyone there, and assume it to be the person in the deportation order.

who have called ICE and named names, so they know who they are targeting.

It won't be me. They couldn't get in if they tried. At least, not without a lot of power tools and equipment. I'm really grateful for my storm doors!

those they initially pick up will not be very sympathetic.
