Do what you need to do

+ The Wall Street Journal reported that Stephen Miller instructed ICE to conduct warrantless “sweeps” of Hispanic areas of the country, detaining people who were suspected of any crimes. Miller wanted them to target places like Home Depot and 7/11s where day laborers tend to gather. This violates the Constitution and they knew it, because they were told not to write anything down, just “do what you need to do.” That’s not how law enforcement is supposed to work in the US or any democratic Republic. 

+ Like many family members of people ICE detained during its raid on Ambiance Apparel in Los Angeles last Friday, Yurien Contreras has not heard from her father, Mario Romero, and has no idea how is doing: “I witnessed how they put my father in handcuffs, chained him from the waist and ankles. My family and I haven’t had communication with my dad. We don’t know anything.”

+ Jose Ortiz, one of the men arrested in the LA worksite raids, has lived in LA for 30 years. After 18 years on the job, he had advanced to the role of floor manager when ICE arrested him without a warrant and with no criminal record.
