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