| Subject: Selective Law Enforcement: Immigration: No Enforcement During Evac Sun Aug 31, 2008 7:42 pm | |
| After being contacted by a number of churches in the New Orleans area about fears among the illegal immigrant community that evacuating might lead to trouble with the law, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials are trying to get the word out that they are not conducting any immigration enforcement during the evacuation.
According to ICE officials, churches are reporting that many in the immigrant community are reluctant to board evacuation busses, worried that they will be asked for documentation or even be arrested.
... Just last week in Laurel, Miss., ICE conducted the largest single worksite enforcement action in the agency's history, detaining 595 suspected illegal immigrants at a manufacturing plant.
