    I’ve been wondering about that: the American Gestapo ICE is roaming around and arresting lots of people. I understand some of those arrests result from random ID checks. But a lot of them is ICE officers raiding houses and “places of interest” where the migrants are supposed to be hiding, and the officers seem to know exactly where to go.

    This started almost immediately after the Orange Utan gave the order, and they sure were able to nab a lot of people right off the bat.

    Which raises the question: how did they know where to go get the undocumented migrants? Did they have lists of suspects and addresses before Trump was sworn in? And more importantly, if they did, who are the disgusting rotters who turned them in?

      They’re taking people who were listed, but not in deportation proceedings. There’s a bunch of people who did stuff like overstay a visa, apply for residency, get denied, but were left alone because they don’t have a criminal record. We always knew where they were, the government was just focused on criminals. So now they’re really easy targets for agents told to meet a quota of arrests.
