Sen. Harris says ICE raids are part of President Trump’s 'campaign of terror' against minorities in US.
Community leaders and immigration advocates have, pointing to the effects it will have on children whose parents were apprehended and to lack of criminal actions against the employers specifically.
When asked about the decision to hold the raid shortly after the El Paso shooting, where the shooter told police heacting Secretary of Homeland Security Kevin McAleenan told"Meet the Press" Sunday that the timing was “unfortunate.” But he defended the raid as the culmination of a lengthy investigation “done with sensitivity” by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents, and said law enforcement released 45 percent of those arrested within the first day for humanitarian reasons, including child care.
“This is a criminal investigation of the employers who are exploiting an undocumented workforce and skirting our laws. Now, when you do an operation at a worksite, you can’t ignore the people who are there without proper permission to be in the United States. You don’t know who they are. Over 200 of these individuals had a criminal record in the U.S.,” he said.
“Those employers are just ignoring the law entirely in what they do. That’s why a judge gave us a warrant to go after them. This is the middle of an ongoing investigation and we do expect to continue forward toward charges,” he said.
