ICE Reaches a New Low : Picking Up Parents Picking Up Their Children

They have already been intimidating parents outside of schools and now they are going to airports, as a sort of welcome to the U.S. committee, ready to round up the undocumented picking up their children from travels abroad.

I just wanted to warn people about something that I learned when meeting with a PC this morning. ICE is apparently now picking up people who go to the airport to pick up children coming from other countries. This PC had sent her U.S. citizen children with a family member out of the country for the summer. The family member had a letter from the mother giving her permission to do so. When the family member returned with the children, CBP asked her about the mother. ICE came to the baggage claim area and arrested the mother. I thought you might want to warn clients about this.

Now people can’t even to meet their children at the airport. Makes me want to send out a whole different kind of warning.
