ICE arrests 500 in immigration raids across the country

In four days, in a bunch of uncooperative sanctuary cities across the country, all at once BAM! Just like that.

It's frightening if you think about it. The uncertainty of it. Living under the sword of Damocles. Whoever that was. Some guy with a sword. Even right here in Denver. How rude!

A federal operation to arrest undocumented immigrants this week netted nearly 500 people in cities and states that have openly opposed the Trump administration’s deportation initiatives.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said Thursday that its four-day “Operation Safe City” targeted people in New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Denver, Washington, D.C., and Baltimore as well as Cook County, Illinois, Santa Clara County in California’s Bay Area, Portland, Oregon, and Massachusetts.

The report says ICE is targeting 8,400 undocumented this month.

Netted. I don't like that word. Not when referring to people. I don't like the word "gross" either. I think they mean arrested. Not netted like accounting.

"Arrest" is a cool ASL sign, but I just now looked and none of the dictionaries show it the way that I've done it for forty-five years. And that makes me wonder how people understood me the whole time. Nobody ever questioned me along the way. Not once. And that goes to show Jeffery's excellent signaling. The dictionaries show it like both hands grab some short person's shoulders, another dictionary shows a hand grabbing an index finger.

I show "1," universal for "individual" and the "alcohol" shot glass configuration that extends index and pinkie fingers that grab the individual and pulls it inward. It looks exactly like an arrest. And maybe that's why nobody questioned it. It fits the in the category of configurations of "rape" and "abuse."

ICE did this 500 times in 4 days:
