DREAM Activist's Family Arrested After Home Raided By ICE

Erika Andiola, a young undocumented immigrant and activist, may be free from the threat of raids and deportation, but her family is another story.

On Thursday night, Andiola's home in Arizona was raided by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents, who knocked on her door then arrested her mother, Maria Arreola, after she opened to check on her visitors. When her older brother refused to provide documentation of his own legal status, he was brought in as well.

"My mother came out of her room without really understanding what was happening, just that there was a really strong knock on the door," Andiola, a co-founder of DRM Action Coalition and nationally prominent supporter of the DREAM Act, told reporters over the phone. "They went ahead and handcuffed her right in front of me and my younger brother, who is 16 years old."

Don’t come here illegally and you won’t be arrested. Criminals get arrested. How is that hard to understand?

They should ALL be sent back.

Oh, puleeez—her mother knew is an ILLEGAL and should have expected it. I honestly don’t know why the same thing hasn’t happened to Coletti’s family in GA. They should be shipped out immediately.

Maybe that "livin' in the shadows thing has some merit, eh?

I’m impressed. People’s lives are changed, and they wake up when the Rule of Law is applied. Joseph and Mary were forced to go to Bethlehem. I’m glad they obeyed the decree.

How can this happen? I expect the head of ICE will be getting a phone call from Odumbo before midnight. The DREAM ACT is our piece of $hit POTUS’ pride and joy. This kind of action just can’t be tolerated! /s

The “activist” needs to go be an “activist” in Mexico. We’ve already got too many “activists” in this country.

Her mom was ‘supposed’ to leave the country in 98’. She still hasn’t. The law tells them to leave, and they still don’t. Always, ‘I’. I I I

"Undocumented" is not a legal term. The accurate (and only) description of someone in this (or any) country illegally is "illegal alien."

But she's still puzzling out why her mother was targeted in the first place.

Not hard at all. It's another false flag operation. They arrest her so Obama and his minions can point out the horror of the situation and then offer her the prize of her life - American citizenship.

We are currently oversubscribed with Mexican born ‘citizen activists’ ~ time to shut down the franchise.

This is just another way to demoralize any ICE agents who are still trying to do their jobs, not to mention the rest of us.

They just took her in so Obama could call her. He didn’t know her home phone number.
