ICE at disasters

Hey friends,

There’s been some growing concern in my world from shelter managers becoming concerned about the potential for ICE to show up at Hurricane/emergency shelters. There was a Biden administration directive that was supposed to prevent immigration raids etc from occurring during natural disasters. Our local leadership has expressed the idea that this shouldn’t be a problem.

But with yesterday’s arrests of wildland firefighters AT a wildfire in Washington, it appears that nowhere is safe anymore.

Be safe out there and look out for each other and especially those that we serve.

You mean illegal immigrants.
The federal government nor any employer cannot hire illegal immigrants per federal law.
These two illegal immigrants were working for a contractor under a federal government contract which is not allowed. Thus their arrest. Pretty simple

How does that boot leather taste? ICE is well known to arrest and hold brown people that are actually citizens.

Such a child. Like I said. Fake news!
