Nation braces with Trump set to begin ICE raids


BY BRETT SAMUELS - 07/14/19 06:00 AM EDT

The specter of sweeping immigration raids this week in several major cities has sparked unrest among advocates and Democrats as the Trump administration escalates its efforts to deport those in the country illegally.

The operation, expected to begin Sunday, fulfills a pledge from President Trump, who earlier this month vowed the raids would commence after delaying them for a few weeks.

“People come into our country illegally. We’re taking them out legally. It’s very simple,” Trump told reporters Friday. “It’s not something I like doing.”

The move has riled up critics and lawmakers who have in recent weeks sought to shine a light on the Trump administration's treatment of migrants. Democrats and immigration advocacy groups have warned that the raids could lead to further family separations and increase populations in already overcrowded detention facilities.

Gives him a hard-on (as puny as it is) to round up those illegals.
