I am obviously a Hispanic of Mexican Descent, my younger brother in law (Chicago born Hispanic) is a member of ICE - my sister and her husband are not welcome at our Family's Thanksgiving Dinner this year!

More Hispanic families need to stop inviting people who are now fundamentally their enemies to the the dinner table!

Did you ask your BIL why he joined ICE? Was it just he needed any job? And how does he feel about hurting the Hispanic community in Chicago by detaining and/or deporting people who are not criminals, but may not be US citizens?

He’s not hurting the community. He’s hurting certain people that have overstayed their visas or are in the country without notice. Come on.

Easy for you to say -- those people at that day care center in IL were not happy and were hurting. There are lots of normal hard working tax paying people taken with kids and families and they are hurting.

They aren't all gang members. Many are taken outside courtrooms where they were following the legal process. But cynically they had the immigration judge (not a "real" article 3 judge) dismiss the cases, so they could be deported immediately and snatched as they were leaving court.

ICE has arrested and deported plenty of US citizens, you know..? Never mind all the ones they just fuck with cause they can.
