ICE officers have arrived unannounced in recent days at the offices of nonprofit groups that provide legal representation to unaccompanied migrant children, the groups said. The groups called the visits “the latest example of intimidation tactics” from the Trump administration, and detailed visits in which ICE investigators, as well as agents from the Department of Health and Human Services, arrived at their offices and sought access to “documents and financial records relating to the organizations’ child clients.”

“The agents were turned away each time and were not provided with any records, as they had no warrant or authority to make such unlawful requests,” the three groups — Amica Center for Immigrant Rights, Ayuda, and Kids in Need of Defense (KIND) — said in a statement Friday.

“This is a blatant abuse of power to try to intimidate child advocates who have dedicated their lives to advocating for unaccompanied immigrant children,” Amica Executive Director Michael Lukens said in the statement. “When federal agents show up unannounced at community-based legal service providers, it sends a chilling message to immigrant families who may already be afraid to seek help,” Ayuda’s executive director, Paula Fitzgerald, added.

Neither the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement nor the Department of Health and Human Services answered HuffPost’s questions about the groups’ claims.

1. ICE "officers"

It’s a propaganda war.

ICE thugs.
ICE brown shirts
ICE gestapo
ICE Nazis
ICE fascists

You get the idea.

3. ICE is an enemy of American democracy.

They are enemy, occupying troops. We should not pretend otherwise.

2. I'm suprised they're not there to arrest more kids

They take up less room and don't eat as much in the concentration camps, you know.

4. I work with a similar group that is not Congressionally funded.

Everyone involved is careful up to, and occasionally over, the border of paranoia. As much as possible, we rely on word-of-mouth to be contacted by families needing help. We do have literature, a website, and 501c3 status which serve to make us somewhat more visible and vulnerable.

5. Fuck ICE! Get the fuck out and stay out!

You are not, nor will you ever be welcome here. And Tom Homan needs to serve the rest of his worthless and miserable life in maximum security prison.
