ICE won’t arrest or detain evacuees in the Carolinas escaping from Hurricane Florence
The News & Observer ^ | September 13, 2018 | Camila Molina

Immigrants in North Carolina and South Carolina shouldn’t worry about being arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as they evacuate their homes or at the emergency shelters, an ICE spokesperson said Wednesday.

Bryan Cox, spokesperson for ICE in the southern region, said everyone should follow local evacuation orders during Hurricane Florence.

“Our highest priority remains the preservation of life and safety,” Cox said in an email. “In consideration of these circumstances, there will be no immigration enforcement initiatives associated with evacuations or sheltering related to Florence, except in the event of a serious public safety threat.”

Hurricane Florence has forced more than 1 million residents in the Carolinas and Virginia to evacuate their homes.

What good are our laws and law enforcement if they won't do their job?. Storm or no storm, illegal aliens should be detained and deported whenever encountered. And especially in a storm and its evacuation, illegal aliens should be transferred to ICE, removed from the area, and deported. Why leave them to overtax local resources? How many Americans risk injury, maybe death, because of these illegal aliens? How much tax dollars are or will be spent on these illegal aliens, leaving them in the communities, filling up shelters, and all that should instead be used for Americans?

Storm or no storm, arrest and deport illegal aliens!

Targets of opportunity should be a no-brainer in any kind of enforcement activity.

At least get their names and location so that after the drama, they can be picked up. Not sure if the majority of the population would like a family getting picked up running from a hurricane. However, in a few weeks, deport them.

A sixteen year old high school girl in our area was stabbed to death a few days ago, by a 20 year old Guatemalan illegal.

“Storm or no storm, arrest and deport illegal aliens!”

It’s called suicidal altruism. We have become too weak as a nation so we’re being conquered with the help of our politicians and the coastal elites.

Why not offer them a nice detainment facility out of harm’s way?

Why not? If you rescue them and realize they are illegal, turn them over to ICE to be removed from the area and deported. That frees up local resources and recovery efforts for Americans. They do much of this already directing people to shelters and all based on their mobility, etc. What’s another category for illegal aliens? No brainer in my opinion.

Post their picture and information, offer a reward to turn them in if they return. They've already been identified at that point so no risk of people being incorrectly flagged as illegal.

Perhaps ICE agents in that region would be put to better use saving, rescuing, aiding and assisting hurricane victims at this time.

Good point. I guess I just hate the media and how they would distort it to make the GOP look bad. A daily occurrence I know.

We are such a neutered country. Can’t uphold the laws. Can punish DEMs for their illegal activities. What’s the F’ing point?

Immigrants in North Carolina and South Carolina shouldn’t worry
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Immigrants shouldn’t worry anyway, they have legal permission to be here.

Illegal aliens should be arrested at any time.

Immigrants shouldn’t worry and ICE shouldn’t bother with them.

Illegals should be deported.

You don’t lure a fly with a hammer. Besides, the crushing crowds leaving the area are a logistical nightmare.

Best to wait and when they ask for help with everyone else, we’ll just give them a little extra “help” (detain & deport).

That’s my read from this “announcement”...

Yes, LEGAL immigrants should have nothing to fear, they are here LEGALLY. Illegal aliens should fear, should fear enough to leave and go home. Whenever encountered and identified as an illegal alien, they should be immediately arrested and removed to be deported. That rescues them from the hurricane dangers, frees up local resources for Americans and legal immigrants.

Isn’t this the exact reason ICE got $10 million from FEMA?

"Immigrants in North Carolina and South Carolina shouldn’t worry about being arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement..."

Certainly not if those "immigrants" are here on valid legal visas or have become naturalized citizens. All other "immigrants" are here illegally and ought to be treated as such, good weather or foul.
