Found this post on Free Republic this morning. TROUBLING, if true...

Dozens of Iraqi Christians and other immigrants were seized over the weekend in a series of ICE raids, many of which took place in Michigan, a state known for its large Middle Eastern population. Those arrested face risk of deportation back to their home countries, some of which Trump had previously criticized as being hostile toward Christians.

Many of the detained are facing years-old charges and some having not committed any crimes in the past two or three decades, CNN reported. Activists such as Steve Oshana, an Assyrian-Christian who is executive director of A Demand for Action, a non-profit that assists at-risk religious and ethnic communities in the Middle East, have attacked Trump for allowing authorities to send Christians back to places like Iraq, where the U.S. has said a “genocide” against the faith was occurring.

Their status can’t be adjusted without some kind of a legal process, such as ruling out if they are lying infiltrators, so let’s hope that the actual persecuted Christian refugees will be able to find secure legal status here through this process.
