Long-threatened ICE raids set to begin amid questions and protests

Long-threatened Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids were set to begin Sunday amid anxiety in immigrant communities across the country and questions about how extensive the much-hyped action would actually be.

The raids were expected to take place in several major U.S. cities, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Miami, Denver, Atlanta, Baltimore and Houston.

In Florida, ICE agents were seen knocking on doors near Miami International Airport on Sunday and in the migrant farming community of Immokalee on Friday, but there had been no reports of arrests, said Melissa Taveras of Miami-based Florida Immigrant Coalition.

“We don’t know if they’re doing it on purpose – saying these 10 cities are the targets so then smaller places are targeted,” Taveras said.
