ice.jpgI don’t have too much information, as this is based on an email I received, but there apparently was an ICE raid this morning in East Houston, Texas. According to the email, 150 to 200 ICE agents conducted a raid close by the Houston Ship Channel. 60-70% of those who were detained were women (I’m sure some were mothers as well). ICE had release 16 people because one of them was actually a Mexican American and the rest had the legal right to work in the US.
The were also 10 pregnant women. 4 employees were transported for medical treatment, and of the 4, a woman was transported by helicopter to the medical center because she fell 20 feet off a stack of wooden pallets.

If anyone has anymore information, either first hand or via their local papers, please let us know. I will also be posting updates as they come in.
