Top immigration official says ICE raids 'absolutely' going to happen

(CNN)Acting US Citizenship and Immigration Services director Ken Cuccinelli said Wednesday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids are "absolutely going to happen" following a delay from the President to see if Congress could work out a legislative solution on immigration.

"We're not going to say when operational elements are going to roll out," he told reporters at the White House.

He continued, "They're absolutely going to happen. There's approximately a million people in this country with removal orders. And of course that isn't what ICE will go after in this, but that's the pool of people who have been all the way through the due process chain."

ICE had planned to arrest and deport families with court-ordered removals in 10 cities in late June, according to a senior immigration official. The day before the raids were set to begin, President Donald Trump delayed them for two weeks "to see if the Democrats and Republicans can get together and work out a solution to the Asylum and Loophole problems at the Southern Border."

A week later at the G20 summit, Trump said his administration still planed to launch a series of ICE raids sometime after the end of that two week period, which would be after the July Fourth holiday.

A source familiar with the matter told CNN that the ICE operation is still being planned, and is expected to be more targeted than the original operation, but could still be nationwide.

Cuccinelli also seemed to concede that Trump's fight to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census after the Supreme Court blocked the question for the the time being will ultimately be up to the courts, but he said Trump is determined.

"Certainly anything that is so controllable by the executive branch ought to be controllable by the President, and so his determination to make sure that goes forward should absolutely be winnable," he said, adding, "The President, of course, is pushing everyone in the White House and the Department of Justice to find all the various ways he can act. So I think you can expect to see that. Certainly he's not a wallflower and you know expect his determination to carry that forward, and you know, we'll see what the courts say, but I don't have any doubt about the President's determination in that regard."

Regardless of DACA we still face some degree of risk if we're at the wrong place at the wrong time. Be careful out there!

Looks like those with removal orders will be moving into attics and under floorboards. Unfortunately it will be so. Stay safe out there peeps. Follow the law. Remove ghetto people from your circle.

No vatos or esses. No homies or peeps. No reppin the set. Rep going to work.

Looks like ICE, DHS, and the Trump regime are looking to round up more people for their illegal human trafficking operation.

They'll probably deport like 1000 people and call it a day so the Trumpsters can salivate and ejaculate when they watch it on Fox news.

The title alone of this article/thread tells me ain't nothing new going to happen. Sounds like election tactics by Trump admin to put out a statement like this.

ICE operations are already happening in SOCAl and in other states. They aren't only going after people with removal orders.

In San Diego, ICE is setting up checkpoints at certain highway exits. Border Patrol is very active as well. Some of my friends on facebook have been notifying others of these checkpoints in my city.

Looks to me what trump is trying to do is remove the ones that were denied asylum and probably didn’t show up to court hence why they got orders of removal

That's not a way to dismiss the severity of this. How long do they go back? Is it the recent people who have been here a year or two or are they going back 10, 20, 30, or more years?
