ICE makes it to Memphis -- finally!
A new fugitive operations team in Memphis:
Illegal immigrants have historically faced little chance of being caught and deported if they make it to non-border areas like Memphis.But new immigration enforcement initiatives in the Mid-South likely mean more deportations are coming.
The efforts will focus on deporting illegal immigrants who have previous contact with immigration courts or the criminal justice system.
By November, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement plans to create a fugitive operations team in Memphis, said Temple Black, a spokesman for the federal agency. The initiatives won't involve work site enforcement: a federal court is still weighing whether the Bush administration's proposed new restrictions on hiring immigrants can go into effect.
The new team is likely to increase the visibility of ICE in Memphis as officers enter immigrant neighborhoods with arrest warrants for foreigners who haven't followed an immigration court's final orders to leave the country. The teams sometimes arrest other suspected illegal immigrants they find while looking for these people, whom the agency calls absconders. [snip]
The only other such team in the region is in New Orleans. (Commercial Appeal, hat tip Mary Chamberlain)

Kulman: NO, I do NOT mean brown skinned and I'm sick of people like you saying that. When I say ILLEGAL I mean just that, any race, religion, color, sex, age, illegal is illegal. No go somewhere else and make a fool of yourself.

Now , by "illegal" u mean Brown skinned right? Don't see any Vietnamese,Cambodian,Ukrainian,canadian,british or any other nationality in these sweeps??
Huh. Its almost like its a xenophobic racist policy!"
Wow. Imagine that RepubliThugs being rascist!
And what is an "immigrant neighborhood" , I have heard of "black" neighborhoods, "white" neighborhoods, "chinatowm", lil Italy,lil Korea.
But I didn't know there were towns where neighborhoods weren't divided based on income or race, but instead based on ctizen status!
Very interesting. So how do you make all the "illegals" live in the same neighborhood??
Regardless of ethnicity or income.
So either you're full of shit and such a place doesn't exist.
Or..........and my money is on this on, "illegal immigrants" is Republifascists way of saying "wetback" in this "p.c." world.
Without saying it.
And by the way you arent a voice of resistance, you are the voice of the Extreme-Right Wing fringe of the GOP. U represent the FRINGE fundamentalist-christian fascists.
The people who have the White House on puppet strings cant claim to be the under-dog.
Sorry.
Go slander soem 12 yr olds guys.
