 ICE Touts Highest Worksite Arrests in Agency History

Breitbart:
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested more than 1,000 illegal alien workers and have uncovered sufficient evidence of immigration employment violations to justify the proposal of $1 million during the first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s administration. Robert Hammer, ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations acting Executive Associate Director, says, “This is the highest rate of arrest in HSI’s history.”

Worksite enforcement actions were ended during the Biden administration under the direction of then-Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. In an October 2021 memorandum ordering ICE to cease large-scale immigration worksite enforcement raids, Mayorkas criticized the use of the raids as an enforcement tool saying, “The deployment of mass worksite operations, sometimes resulting in the simultaneous arrest of hundreds of workers, was not focused on the most pernicious aspect of our country’s unauthorized employment challenge: exploitative employers.”

Mayorkas went on to say, “These highly visible operations misallocated enforcement resources while chilling, and even serving as a tool of retaliation for, worker cooperation in workplace standards investigations.” more here

  1. 1,000? Hey I appreciate the effort but c’mon, one thousand?? That’s it?

    I’m seeing wall to wall slow walking right now. I know how quickly political capitol needs to be spent.

  2. Mayorkas needs to be picked up, airlifted down to, and dropped off at Tierra Del Fuego (southernmost tip of South America, very close to Antarctica), let him walk back to the US of A.
    I’ll chip in to help pay for fuel.
