Many Democrats have been complaining that Trump and ICE have been arresting & deporting ALL illegal aliens who they find, rather than only those having committed heinous crimes.
Trump, Homan, & Noem did say they were going to go after those illegals who had committed serious crimes first & foremost. Sure. But this does not mean that in many cases nonviolent illegals should be ignored.
I saw a YouTube video where ICE intelligence sent ICE officers to an apartment to get 2 high level gang members. They found those 2 along with 10 other illegal aliens who were not gang members & had no records of crimes other than EWI (Entry Without Inspection - ie. US Code 8, Section 1325).
So as long as those 10 were found also, do Democrats think they should be ignored, just because they are guilty or suspected of EWI, without other crimes ?
That. Is ridiculous. ICE may go on raids specifically targeting gang members and those illegal aliens with multiple crime records, but when EWI-only illegals happen to be present, and can be arrested also, there is no reason to ignore them. ALL illegal aliens who ICE finds should be arrested, whether targeted or not. Anything less would be dereliction of duty.
