As much as I hate too, we have to go back to the so-called I.C.E. Sweeps. Numbers have been released and they completely dispel what we are being told by the MSM, Liberals, and Immigration Activists. Below are the actual fact sheets released by The Department of Homeland Security. They tell a completely different story you hear. Any reporter, any person with Internet access can obtain these fact sheets.
The falsehoods being told on MSM, from Liberals, Immigrant Rights Activists, etc. are playing with fire. There is no excuse for their actions. Please take the time to read these fact sheets and spread the word. We need to tell the truth. All this fear mongering will do is promote violence. Contrary to what I have heard on TV, I.C.E. is not targeting Maids and Moms.
A look at the actual facts:

The subject was also previously removed to Mexico and he subsequently illegally re-entered the United States. • A Mexican national arrested in the Atlanta metropolitan area who previously pleaded guilty to felony cocaine distribution charges. • The stats cover the entirely of the agency’s fugitive operations arrests from Monday through Friday. • This enforcement operation was conducted in accordance with routine, daily targeted operations conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) fugitive operations teams every day to arrest criminal aliens and other individuals who are in violation of our nation’s immigration laws. • ICE deportation officers conduct targeted enforcement operations every day in locations around the country as part of the agency’s ongoing efforts to protect the nation, uphold public safety and protect the integrity of our immigration laws and border controls. • These are existing, established fugitive operations teams.

Those who have outstanding orders of deportation, or who returned to the United States illegally after being deported, are subject to removal from the country.

Any groups falsely reporting such activities are doing a disservice to those they claim to support. • During targeted enforcement operations ICE officers frequently encounter additional suspects who may be in the United States in violation of federal immigration laws. Those persons will be evaluated on a case by case basis and, when appropriated, arrested by ICE.
