That is what "collateral arrests" means.

They're even in suburban neighborhoods outside Austin city limit. Yesterday, they were following a school bus as kids got off.Link to tweet

"Donald Trump's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents began massive deportation sweeps Thursday in Los Angeles and other cities around the country, only there's no indication that agents specifically targeted dangerous criminals. In the LA raids, Esther Yu Hsi Lee reports:
Advocates and lawyers said that ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations agents detained 134 immigrants at their workplaces and homes in a series of raids. They said that some people were picked up as collateral arrest after they opened their doors to agents who were not there to specifically arrest them. ICE agents allegedly requested to see identification from everyone and took in family members who were undocumented. (emphasis added)
The immigration sweeps are believed to have taken place across Southern California in Santa Paula, Oxnard, Van Nuys, San Bernardino, and Downey."
ICE agents denied detaining 100 people and a spokesperson insisted the raids targeted "individuals who pose a risk to our communities." Kind of like apprehending Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos in Arizona Wednesday, a mom with American children whose only crime was getting caught in a workplace raid about a decade ago.
Or these sweeps in Austin, Texas: Alvarado described her husbands arrest like he was being hunted. She said they knew where he lived, his job, his morning route.
What do I do now? Reyna Alvarado said in Spanish. "I had to go to school and tell my daughter that theyve taken her father away, she added, while her forlorn 12-year-old, the youngest of the Honduran couple's three children clutched her mother as she spoke.
Theres also unconfirmed reports that ICE agents are trailing kids walking home from school to lead them to their parents."

(31,261 posts)About Trump Nazis invading immigrants houses and jobs and ripping families apart. Also the Dakota Access Pipeline construction has restarted after Trump intimidated the Army Corp of Engineers. This WOULD NOT have happened if Clinton was President. Fuck the Stein voters, fuck the BoB that voted for Trump, all of them are as much bastards as the people that they voted for.

(77 posts)A group of good old boys was CHEERING this with an Asian man today I couldn't believe what I was hearing. He started spouting some nonsense about rule of law and coming the right way like somehow republicans suddenly care about laws. My social media mutual friends is filled with deplorables celebrating this and other deportations. Sickening. I wish I had a bigger place I would invite these people into my home.

(7,581 posts)Why are white people so afraid? I will tell you. They know that the game is almost over. They really think getting rid of illegals will keep them from being a minority in 10 years. They have been given permission to hate by this horrible man.
I don't know if we will win this fight. But we all have to fight. Offer sanctuary if you have an extra room. Someone on twitter accused me of harboring a criminal and being a criminal. I told him that yes, I was a criminal, just like the people who harbored Ann Frank.
Dallasdem1988
(77 posts)What they say to me. Nonsense about how whites deserved to keep white countries white. I'm sorry I understood the argument I suppose but white people have done such damage I can't say them becoming a minority is a bad thing.
Soon Europe will be multicultural and America and these people will have to learn to behave.
adigal
(7,581 posts)It was disgusting. The glee and joy of white people that these people being deported with no notice, no family. I am amazingly disheartened. We are a horrible people.

The optics probably won't affect Republicans, but the whole world will never forget the terror on the face of Elian Gonzalez, the little five year old Cuban boy who had survived a perilous raft journey that killed his mother, only to be ripped out of the arms of his Florida relatives by heavily armed men.
Trump is playing with fire here.

HassleCat
(6,409 posts)They have done these big roundups as long as I can remember. I actually saw one in progress in 2007. Sometimes one parent is deported, and the other parent is allowed to stay. In a few cases, the parents get to stay, but the kids are ejected. It all depends on who is here legally, and who is not. We should be trying to change immigration laws so this does not happen, but we have never been able to make any progress, and it's certainly not going to happen right now.
