So people swept up in raids where actually Americans…..
They are on their way home….
I’m sure they’ll be talking to lawyers….
Other’s detained have been released quietly…after paying the Govt. a bond fee….
As HAS been reported….
Those on the top of the Trump admin have no idea HOW their countries immigration system works….
Putting pressure of ICE to produce body count’s isn’t gonna change the basic’s….
Of course Trump can use the Tariff threat to get his way also like he did in Columbia….
Ya pay for your freedom….
In the days since Trump took office, ICE officers have fanned out across communities making targeted arrests but also picking up undocumented immigrants they encounter. These “collateral arrests” were discouraged by the Biden administration, but under Trump, ICE officers have been urged to take a more aggressive approach.
On Jan. 23, there were 593 immigrants arrested across the country, including Salinas and his two co-workers at the Ocean Seafood Depot. Five days later, the daily number was 1,016.
White House officials have released photos of migrants loaded onto military planes and flown to other countries, giving the impression that those being arrested are immediately deported. Many of those shown in the photos are migrants who have recently tried to illegally cross the border. Those arrested elsewhere in the country are probably being held in detention centers that ICE officials say are growing more crowded — or they are released on bail with a day to appear in court.
Two days after Salinas’s arrest, the Trump administration ordered every regional ICE office to arrest at least 75 immigrants per day so that it could detain 1,200 to 1,500 people each day nationwide. A top Trump aide has described those numbers as a floor, not a ceiling.
Some fear the new quotas will further incentivize the agency to cast a wider net and to pick up individuals like Salinas, who have no known criminal records but who illegally entered the country…..

On Jan. 24, Salinas’s family members and friends learned that there was hope of his release. ICE informed them he had to pay a $10,000 bond. Nobody, including Salinas, had the money on their own. So workers at Ocean Seafood Depot pooled together donations, and more than a dozen other of Salinas’s relatives and friends chipped in to come up with money for his release.
Salinas came to the United States in 2021, illegally crossing the southern border near El Paso to make his way to his younger sister in Newark. He was coming to help care for her: She was sick with colon cancer. Months after he arrived, she died, and Jimenez and other family members tried to pull him out of his grief, inviting him to dinners and family gatherings.
On Monday — four days after he was arrested — Salinas was allowed to leave. So was one of his co-workers, Robinson Sanchez….
