    So this happened: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4274138/ICE-officials-arrest-Dreamer-22-spoke-media.html

    I think it's clear that her arrest immediately following her speech is no coincidence. Her application was pending. She paid the application fee late because she's a starving student (as many students are, since education is too expensive). I would say this is a prelude to the government blatantly tracking down and arresting dissenters. This woman has been in the USA since she was 7 years old FFS. Some assholes think this arrest is justified because she didn't pay a $500 admin fee on time... yeah, that's worth ruining her life. I thought Trump and ICE were after the criminal illegal immigrants? Well, seems they are also after the productive ones who do and will contribute postiviely to America. All they have to do is speak against Trump. Dissenters beware. Probably won't be long before they try doing it to citizens too.

    Definitely. In fact, just a couple of weeks ago it appears that a tech company outside Seattle was raided by ICE and ICE started demanding documentation for their workers. This is a high tech, cloud integration, Microsoft partner company. So pretty mainstream tech company, like 100's of others in the Seattle area. This is just the beginning.

    Seattle-area tech company raided by immigration enforcement

    Think it'll just be farmers and restaurants which are raided? Think again.

    Seattle-area cloud company Sysgain on Tuesday was reportedly the subject of an immigration raid — something the official allegedly called a "routine inspection."

    The immigration official who was at the scene at the company's Redmond office allegedly made everyone put their cell phones away, told them they weren't allowed to record anything, demanded records and documentation, and questioned why some of the cubicles were empty, according to a Facebook post from someone familiar with the matter.

    The official reportedly interrogated the CEO for more than an hour and are demanding the company produce additional documentation, according to that same post. Sysgain is a Microsoft cloud administration partner company that helps companies transition their operations to the cloud.

    It’s unclear whether the inspection was completed by an Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent, who target undocumented immigrants and those with deportation orders, or the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which typically tracks compliance for “high tech” H-1B visa programs.

    anticipate more orders, more demand for services
    Davis Wright Tremaine immigration lawyer Chris Helm expects both types of immigration raids will become more common under President Donald Trump's administration.

    Department of Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly, in a pair of memos signed Tuesday, instructed the agency to begin hiring 10,000 additional ICE agents and 5,000 additional Border Patrol officers.

    “This is just the tip of the iceberg,” Helm said.

    Much like damn near everything from Trump's mouth, simply saying it doesn't make it true.

    it is not NICE to call someone a troll, I got a warning over it by the Mods but I do not expect the same to happen to you.

    I think most people would understand that asking "are you trolling?" is different than calling someone a troll.

    Unafraid? Fox news is a fear factory. And the people who watch are less informed than people who don't watch any news at all, which explains a lot of your posts I suppose....
