US: New ICE initiative causing ‘collateral damage’ (Commentary)
Albuquerque Journal – November 29, 2017
Edwin isn’t the only one having to face this overwhelming situation, due to a new ICE initiative named the “Surge Initiative.” Since the initiative began in June, more than 400 “sponsors” have been arrested and face charges varying from civil and criminal immigration violations to federal smuggling crimes. To push it even further, the initiative targets not only sponsors of immigrant children, but any undocumented immigrants encountered during the operations, which ICE classifies as “collateral arrests.”
