ICE Agents Arrest Student Before Prom

ICE AGENTS HAVE CONTINUED THEIR TIRADE
AGAINST IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES.
THIS TIME THEY HAVE ARRESTED A
TEENAGER JUST HOURS BEFORE HIS
PROM.
THIS IS A PICTURE OF DIEGO WHO IS A CITIZEN OF
ECUADOR.
HE WAS ARRESTED AT HIS COUSINS HOME ON THURSDAY
MORNING.
THE AGENCY SAID THAT HE IS BEING HELD AT A FEDERAL
DETENTION CENTER.
THE SCHOOL WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY ARE GOING TO
WORK WITH ATTORNEYS TO MAKE IT SO THAT HE CAN GO BACK TO SCHOOL
SO HE CAN GRADUATE.
BUT THIS IS WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW,
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO
IMMIGRATION.
IMMIGRATION ARRESTS ARE ACTUALLY UP 38% UNDER TRUMP,
BUT DEPORTATIONS ARE DOWN.
REMEMBER THEY CALLED OBAMA THAT
THE PORTER IN CHIEF?
I THINK WHEN WE SEE ALL THESE PEOPLE
THAT ARE BEING DEPORTED AND ARRESTED, A LOT OF THAT GETS
COVERED BY ALL OF THE CRAZINESS THAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION AND IT TAKES THESE REALLY SAD CASES TO REALLY
DRIVE IT HOME AND HAVE A MORE EVOCATIVE EFFECT FOR US TO
REMEMBER ALL THE AWFUL THINGS ICE AGENTS ARE DOING AROUND
THE COUNTRY.
>> CASES LIKE THIS ARE THE LOW HANGING FRUIT OF THE IMMIGRATION
PROBLEM.
YOU KNOW ARE THESE
PEOPLE ARE, YOU GO TO SCHOOL, THEY HAVE JOBS.
BECAUSE THEY DO
THOSE THINGS YOU CAN ROUND THEM
UP.
IT DOESN'T FALL INTO THE BANNER THAT ICE IS CHARGED TO DO
>>YES, IT IS ACTUALLY CREATING PROBLEMS.
IT TURNS OUT IN THIS
CASE THE LOCAL POLICE RECEIVED PRIOR NOTIFICATION THAT I SHOULD
BE IN THE LOCAL AREA CONDUCTING ENFORCEMENT ACTION.
THEY DID NOT
PROVIDE THE BUFFER SO THEY ARE
LOSING THAT TRUST FROM THIS COMMUNITY AND IT WILL CREATE
MORE PROBLEMS.
THOSE COMMUNITIES ARE A LOT SAFER AND HAVE LESS CRIME THAN
COMMUNITIES WHO DO NOT DO THAT.
>>I AGREE IT UNDERMINES THE EFFICACY OF OTHER JUSTICE
EFFORTS.
JUST THE FACT THAT UNDER THIS ADMINISTRATION THAT
THERE ARE VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE WHO ARE BEING TARGETED.
OTHER ASPECTS OF THE JUSTICE
SYSTEM CANNOT OPERATE EFFECTIVELY IF YOU CREATE THIS
ENVIRONMENT OF FEAR.
IT REALLY IS CREATING MORE ISSUES THAN IT
IS SOLVING.
ALSO IT IS INCREASING THE POPULATION OF
THESE PRIVATE PRISONS THAT HOLD THESE FOLKS BEFORE THEY ARE
DEPORTED WHICH WE GET PROFIT FROM.
>> IF YOU LOOK AT THE META-PROBLEM OF THE IMMIGRATION
ISSUE, WHAT WE ARE SAYING IS ñ IF YOU LOOK AT THAT AS A WEIGHT
ON OUR SOCIETY, THIS DOESN'T ADDRESS THOSE PROBLEMS.
AS
HANNAH SAYS IT CREATES MORE PROBLEMS.
YOU ARE TAKING
PRODUCTIVE MEMBERS OF THE
COMMUNITY, UNDERSTOOD THEY ARE HERE ILLEGALLY, UNDOCUMENTED,
BUT YOU ARE TAKING THEM OUT.
I THINK YOU ARE BOTH RIGHT TO
POINT OUT THAT THE CONJUNCTION OF LOCAL AUTHORITIES AND
GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES IS ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN VERY
IMPORTANT AND IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THAT HAS BEEN BREAKING DOWN A
BIT AS WELL.
>> THIS KID IS GOING TO SCHOOL AND DOING EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT
PEOPLE WHO COME HERE TO DO, GET AN EDUCATION AND BE A GREAT
CONTRIBUTOR TO SOCIETY.
>> AND THEY TYPICALLY DO.
UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS BOLSTER
OUR ECONOMY.
OUTSIDE OF THE CRIMINAL POPULATION THAT
TENDS TO BE THE FOCUS.
LET'S TURN TO HAVE A PRODUCTIVE
ECONOMY FIRST.
IF YOU ARE ON THE SIDE OF BEING UNDOCUMENTED IS
CRIMINAL THEN YOU NEED TO TAKE A DEEPER LOOK AT HOW OUR ECONOMY
FUNCTIONS.
>>YOU MAKE A GOOD POINT.
>> BY THE WAY, I WANTED TO QUICKLY SHOEHORN THIS IN.
ECONOMICALLY IF YOU JUST WANT TO TALK THE ECONOMICS OF IT,
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS ARE THE BACKBONE OF
SO MANY BUSINESSES.
THEY WORK IN THE SHADOWS, AND THE KITCHENS,
IN THE FIELDS.
NOW JUST AS A RESULT OF THE ADVERTISING THAT
WE WILL BE TOUGH ON IMMIGRANTS
IN THIS COUNTRY WHO ARE HERE UNDOCUMENTED, THERE HAS BEEN A
CHILLING EFFECT AND THEY ARE HAVING TROUBLE STAFFING UP THOSE
AREAS OF THE ECONOMY.
THAT IS THIS UNDOCUMENTED POPULATION.
