Civil rights activists said the new policy was cruel. It also could result in avoidable fatalities, if some families with illegal immigrant members choose not to evacuate the storm zone.

“This is a disgusting move from the Border Patrol that breaks with past practices,” American Civil Liberties Union director of immigration policy and campaigns Lorella Praeli said. “The Border Patrol should never keep checkpoints open during any natural disasters in the United States. Everyone, no matter the color of their skin or background, is worth saving.”

13. Thanks. I knew I had seen that earlier.

ETA a statement I found.

And in a joint statement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Friday, they announced routine non-criminal immigration enforcement operations would not be conducted at evacuation centers.

14. that's cover

they can't get out of the area. They can stay in the shelters and won't have to show papers but that doesn't mean they won't get them anyway.

7. does this administration and those who serve in it

have even a shred of humanity? You gives a God damn fuck what nationality some one is who is fleeing for their life. This is just horrible..FUCK TRUMP AND ANYONE WHO VOTED FOR HIM and the most ironic thing is, you call yourself Christians?

8. WTF? He needs to be removed NOW

This is NOT what this country stands for!

on edit: I'm hearing conflicting reports. If this isn't true, maybe it should be removed to prevent those in danger from thinking it is true.

9. This is cruelty beyond belief!

If this causes anyone to lose their life for fear of being deported, their deaths will be on Trump's hands.

I can't believe these bastards. How low can they sink?

[haveahart]

10. Ok, I may be wrong but I just do not believe this.

11. I hope they remember to wrap them in plastic baggies as they evacuate

with their water wings.

What a disgrace!
