ICE to Launch Raids Targeting Central American Mothers and Children

HeadlineMay 13, 2016

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, known as ICE, is reportedly preparing to launch a month-long campaign of raids specifically aimed at rounding up and deporting undocumented Central American mothers and children. The effort contradicts the Obama administration’s 2014 pledge to focus deportations on “felons, not families.” On Thursday, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio wrote, “I am outraged to read reports of future ICE raids planned for May and June targeting Central American mothers and children. Many of these families have fled violence in their home countries and seek safety here, in the city of immigrants.”
