Are we at the 100% proof positive point where Democrats just need to stop with their talking point that they only want to keep the good illegals? That they respect the rule of law?

ACLU Files Lawsuit To Stop ICE Raids On Sunday That Would Target Migrants

The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit Thursday calling for the cancellation of raids reportedly planned by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) that would take into custody thousands of undocumented migrants.

The lawsuit, filed in district court for the Southern District of New York, argues that the majority of undocumented immigrants facing arrest have not been given proper notice to appear before legal proceedings to make their case for seeking asylum.

“Even when the government sent notices to the right address for a real hearing, it repeatedly sent them too late, for locations unreasonably far from immigrants’ homes,” the lawsuit says. “Notices thus arrived either after the date set for a hearing or just a few days before, requiring indigent families to immediately travel across the country to hearings in distant states.”

Defendants in the lawsuit include acting ICE director Mark Morgan and U.S. Attorney General William Barr.

The raids are expected to take place in at least 10 cities “over multiple days,” The New York Times first reported. The crackdown would come a few weeks after President Donald Trump tweeted about raids that he later delayed.

New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement Thursday that she would “stand up against any threatened incursions on our state’s civil rights because, in America, we value our immigrants.”

Good grief. The majority, if not all, who are on ICE’s targeting table have been through the entire immigration process and ordered to leave the U.S. or be deported. Seriously, the system is generally nice enough that the illegals are not taken into custody immediately and deported in so many cases, giving them time to wrap up their affairs. These illegals have been given more than enough notice. And then there’s NY AG James, who thinks we respect illegal aliens. That’s because she’s isolated in the Liberal Bubble, rather than reality, and, further, doesn’t seem to want the law enforced on illegals. I bet she goes hardcore on people engaged in lawful ownership of firearms, though, eh?

Attorney Brad Philipps, whose Los Angeles-based firm is involved in the lawsuit, said raids by ICE would be “inhumane.”

“The Trump administration’s plan to send families and children who came to this country seeking refuge from violence and abuse in their home countries back to those places, without so much as one opportunity to show a judge they are entitled under U.S. law to stay, is fundamentally at odds with what this nation stands for,” Philipps said in a statement. “We hope by this lawsuit to stop the administration’s unjust and inhumane plan in its tracks.”

See, this is where they brazenly lie. Even when they pick up some non-targeted illegals as collateral, they will still get their day in court. People like Philipps know that the Open Borders advocates are dumb enough to believe things like his statement, despite, again, all the targeted illegals having exhausted their legal methods and ordered deported by federal immigration judges.

Chicago Mayor Permanently Bans ICE From Accessing Police Databases Ahead Of Raids

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said Wednesday that her city has permanently banned U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement from accessing the Chicago Police Department’s databases ahead of looming ICE raids to detain undocumented immigrants.

Chicago police “will not team up with ICE to detain any resident,” the mayor said after meeting with business leaders and immigration rights advocates at Lurie Children’s Hospital. “They’re not going to be facilitating or otherwise providing any assistance in any raids ― whether it’s traffic stops [or] additional support. … We have also cut off ICE from any access from any CPD databases and that will remain permanent.”

Remember, we aren’t supposed to call them open borders.

So let me get this straight, they don’t even want the people who a court has ordered deported deported anymore? Basically they want to call anyone who makes it onto US soil an American. That’s open borders ????????

If you are an undocumented immigrant, please know that you are in my thoughts and that I will keep fighting to make our immigration system welcome all who seek a better life in our country.

Again, they have been ordered deported by federal judges. Omar sure seems like she’s endorsing Open Borders, eh?
