Hundreds arrested in at least 6 states.
Immigration activists said the crackdown went beyond the six states DHS identified, and said they had also documented ICE raids of unusual intensity during the past two days in Florida, Kansas, Texas and Northern Virginia.
That undocumented immigrants with no criminal records were arrested and could potentially be deported sent a shock through immigrant communities nationwide amid concerns that the U.S. government could start going after law-abiding people.

This is such crap. Obama deported more illegals than any other President in American history. You can find plenty of Democrats making that argument all over the internet.
Bottom line is that right now ICE is carrying on their regular work. Lefties are trying to make a Trump stink out of it. Ridiculous. Nothing has changed yet. It might in the future. But right now this is just stupid politics.

"going after law-abiding people"
The fact that they are "undocumented" in and of itself means they AREN'T
"Law-abiding"
GET IT???
They brought this upon themselves.
Think about how much shit you deal with having to have documents and money and ID etc just at the DMV as a citizen, so come on I'm sick of the pity party.

Quietly - while the media hates on Trump and the libs continue to cry and block things and burn shit - Trump is making it happen.
One illegal mexican at a time.
It's like jingling a shiny thing (the media and the protests) while cleaning out your house of everything (the raids and deportations) while you watch the shiny thing.

I love reading the faux outrage from the DCUM people.
They should have to take one of the beaners into their house for a day. After their kids get molested, maybe they can experience some actual outrage.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers conduct a targeted enforcement operation in Atlanta, Ga.
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/immigration-agency-arrest-surge-routine-protests-article-1.2969693
A wave of arrests made by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials sparked fear and protests Friday as activists and advocates took to the streets.
Immigration officials said the sweeps in New York, Southern California, Chicago and other cities were routine and not part of a promised crackdown vowed by President Trump.
One man was arrested in Hudson, in upstate Columbia County, according to advocates.
At least three others were picked up in surrounding counties, according to Brian MacCormack, an organizer with the Columbia County Sanctuary Movement.
MacCormack said the group “condemns ICE’s activities in the area, and their attempt to separate families.”
The man arrested in Hudson was being held at the Albany county jail.

Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos, 36, was taken into custody Wednesday after coming to the U.S. at age 14. The government under the Obama administration had not deported her after she pleaded guilty to a felony plea a decade ago.
Hundreds gathered at Foley Square in Lower Manhattan Friday evening to denounce the arrests and deportations.
Similar protests broke out in Los Angeles, Austin and Phoenix.
Most of the United States’ 11.1 million unauthorized immigrants live in just 20 major metropolitan areas, with the largest populations in New York, Los Angeles and Houston, according to new Pew Research Center estimates based on government data.
ICE officials said this week they conducted an “enforcement surge” that was no different than enforcement actions carried out in the past.
While Trump has vowed to sharpen the federal focus on immigration, his predecessor quietly increased the number of deportations.
Members of the family of Garcia de Rayos stand with supporters at a news conference in front of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Phoenix.
Roughly 200 million people were deported under President Obama.
But immigrant rights groups say the actions are harsher than in the past.
A mother of two teens who left Mexico when she was 14 and entered the U.S. illegally was deported earlier this week.
Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos, 36, was taken into custody Wednesday in Arizona during one of her regular check-ins with ICE.
Garcia de Rayos was arrested nearly a decade ago for using a false ID to get a job as a janitor at an amusement park.
Police detain a suspect during an operation in Los Angeles this past Tuesday. David Marin, of ICE, said removal operations in greater L.A. occur two to three times a year.
She pleaded guilty to a felony charge, but the government during the Obama years declined to deport her despite her being in the country illegally.
On Wednesday, she showed up at the ICE building in Phoenix for a scheduled check-in with immigration officers and was swiftly deported to Mexico.
Officials denied that the rash of raids was in any way linked to President Trump’s executive order targeting illegal immigration and sanctuary cities.
David Marin, ICE’s field office director for enforcement and removal operations in greater Los Angeles, told the Associated Press the agency carries out such operations two or three times a year in his region.
He said the California operation was in the planning stages “before the administration came out with their current executive orders.”
Most undocumented immigrants live in Houston, New York, Los Angeles and Fairfax County, according to new Pew Research Center estimates based on government data. ICE police are seen here working in Atlanta, Ga., this week.
Roughly 160 million people were arrested during a five-day sweep in Southern California aimed at immigrants with criminal histories and deportation orders, officials said.
A Salvadoran gang member wanted in his country and a Brazilian drug trafficker were among those arrested.
The agency said a “rash of recent reports about purported ICE checkpoints and random sweeps are false, dangerous and irresponsible.”
In a statement, ICE said “officers frequently encounter additional suspects who may be in the United States in violation of the federal immigration laws. Those persons will be evaluated on a case by case basis and, when appropriate, arrested by ICE.”
