U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has detained or deported several foreigners across the country who are also prominent immigration activists, prompting accusations from advocates that the Trump administration is improperly targeting political opponents.

Detention Watch Network, a nonprofit that tracks immigration enforcement, said this week that several activists have been targeted recently, including Maru Mora Villalpando in Washington state, Eliseo Jurado in Colorado, and New York immigrant leaders Jean Montrevil and Ravi Ragbir.

“They’re trying to intimidate people,” said Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), the ranking Democrat of the House Judiciary Committee. “These are well-known activists who’ve been here for decades, and they’re saying to them: Don’t raise your head.”

“They’re trying to intimidate people,

Good. These aliens should be intimidated for agitating in a foreign country where they're the guest.

If they want to agitate, they should go home and agitate to reform the sh*thole countries where they are from.

Good, many foreign countries make it a crime for foreigners to engage in political activities.
We’ll just remove them.

In the service, we always referred to them as “targets of opportunity” — they pop up, you take them out. Keep it up boys & girls of ICE.

Good. I agree. They need to go first. Flaunting their illegal status is like giving the finger to America and our laws. Good riddance
