U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids were underway in Aurora and Denver on Wednesday morning, with early reports and video showing agents going door-to-door and throwing what appears to be flashing smoke grenades.

Hannah Strickline, a resident of Cedar Run Apartments, said she woke up to texts that police were going door to door across the complex. A few minutes later, she heard a knock on her door.

She opened it to find “six heavily armed officers demanding ID.”

After she provided her identification, they asked which of her neighbors might be undocumented.

There's a planned protest at the Capital in Denver today. Both of my kids are on their way there, very near where these raids are happening.

1. ICE Gestapo

Getting worse.

3. They should be arresting the slum lord who owns the building

Instead they're asking people to rat out their neighbors.

2. How is any of this legal?

[BadgerKid]

4. Pressure to show ID without warrant or reasonable suspicion?

Are Dems addressing this? (Edit: I guess the point is ICE is equating "no ID" as a quick proxy for "suspected of being here illegally".)

5. When asked about her neighbors,

I would have responded, “The only illegals around here that I have seen are you guys.”

[Comrade Citizen]

6. ICE has been patrolling. This is why we never open our door

and in public, we try to look (blonde dye and lighter makeup) and act as white as humanly possible . Sunlight is not our friend.
Passing as white is mentally draining, but we don't want to risk being arrested.

7. You come to my door demanding identification...

…and you’re going to get a resounding “Go fuck yourself…”

8. From Costa Rica to New Jersey, a pipeline of illegal workers for Trump goes back years

And speaking of illegal immigrants.

Washington Post: ‘My whole town practically lived there’: From Costa Rica to New Jersey, a pipeline of illegal workers for Trump goes back years.

By Joshua Partlow, Nick Miroff and David A. Fahrenthold

At his home on the misty slope of Costa Rica’s tallest mountain, Dario Angulo keeps a set of photographs from the years he tended the rolling fairways and clipped greens of a faraway American golf resort.

Angulo learned to drive backhoes and bulldozers, carving water hazards and tee boxes out of former horse pastures in Bedminster, N.J., where a famous New Yorker was building a world-class course. Angulo earned $8 an hour, a fraction of what a state-licensed heavy equipment operator would make, with no benefits or overtime pay. But he stayed seven years on the grounds crew, saving enough for a small piece of land and some cattle back home.

Other former employees of President Trump’s company live nearby: men who once raked the sand traps and pushed mowers through thick heat on Trump’s prized golf property — the “Summer White House,” as aides have called it — where his daughter Ivanka got married and where he wants to build a family cemetery.

“Many of us helped him get what he has today,” Angulo said. “This golf course was built by illegals.”
