Well I hope it least he has a business license to sell fruit across the street. I mean Google didn't have one for a while, so maybe it's no big deal if he doesn't.

This is another clear example of over-reach by ICE! Going to an address looking for one individual, not finding that person, so they just take who ever is there now. No sense in going out to arrest someone and returning empty handed.
A comprehensive reform of our entire immigration system is so desperately needed. ICE should have it's purpose rewritten to capture criminal felonious immigrants, and not looking at everyone with an accent as potentially criminal. Yes, technically anyone who has overstayed their visa, or who entered the country illegally is a "criminal", but that criminality should not be reason enough to seize individuals and hold them indefinitely.
Don't forget, REGISTER, and then VOTE.

Just read the entire article. Not a word as to whether said person was actually in the country legally. Laws are not just words, you know...

If he was released on $5K bail, then he has to have been charged with something. Is he legally in the US? Just because he was not the target, does not dismiss the fact that there was a reason to arrest him. Why does the MV-Voice choose to not provide all the facts?

What's even more disturbing is that the county is spending a half million dollars to encourage illegal activity and thwart lawful law enforcement activity. What is wrong with people? I could think of a lot better things to spend a half mil on.

The loudest voices are usually the least informed. Unlawful presence in the United States is not, in fact, a crime, but instead a civil violation. Closer to a speeding ticket, which endangers for more people than otherwise law-abiding residents that are undocumented.

I'd rather have 100 unlawfully present, otherwise law-abiding community members than either @Greg or @Kiva. For example, let's compare how the man in the article makes a living against how our home-grown @Greg David does. It's an easy call, which I doubt even Greg will be able to defend.

Why doesn't the City Council or the Mayor warn the MV immigrant community about ICE raids if they know they are coming as the Mayor of Oakland has done? Or the MVPD and/or City Council could at least tip off the Rapid Response Network so they could warn the immigrant community about an upcoming ICE raid. The leaders of this city need to do much more to protect our vulnerable communities and value diversity!

thank you Randy. I'm so tired of explaining how difficult if not impossible is to apply for citizenship. This man I know, and he works so hard, not asking or taking anything from any of us and/or (government). Please educate yourself prior to commenting, it does show your ignorance when you just go with what "everyone" is claiming/saying. Think about it, one of his kids could be one of your children's friends/ classmate. He could be your neighbor. We are living in a time in place where compassion is not there anymore.
