To me this is the stupidest idea ever and the worst attempt at trying to play nice and act as if they are compassionate. Immigration and Customs Enforcement aka ICE’s Director announced on Sunday Operation Scheduled Departure.
The announcement of the program by Julie Myers, on Univision’s popular show ‘Al Punto’ con Jorge Ramos, is considered unofficial, as the program which asks undocumented immigrants without prior criminal records to turn themselves in to ICE to be deported, has yet to be announced or mentioned in an official capacity or through any other media outlet.
The benefit to the undocumented? ICE will be nice enough to not put the immigrants in a detention center and will give the immigrants a few weeks to get their affairs in order (like figure out who the leave the children they will be forced to leave with?)
Aww isn’t ICE nice?
What I find really interesting is ICE’s decision to “leak” the program to a Spanish language network. Was this their idea of a public service announcement?
