US Atty Mike Hurst says ICE swept up 680 people across 6 MS cities today. ICE officers stormed facilities where workers were trying to make a living for their families & carried them off in buses.

He claims it's about "enforcing the rule of law...throughout our great country."
From the release: "Family members of those detained can call ICE’s toll-free detainee locator hotline for
information about an individual’s detention location & status, as well as info about the
removal process. The phone number is 1-888-351-
4024." (Eng+Spanish hotline)
The immigrants whom ICE detained are being sent to a prison camp in Jena, Louisiana. #MSIceRaids #ICE

At a Mississippi school, the children and family members of immigrants plucked out of their workplaces by federal agents in today’s historic #ICEraids weep, unsure when or if they’ll see their loved ones again. Their back to school week. Shared with permission from Miriam Sanchez
Stories of today’s #ICEraids: “Children finished their first day of school with no parents to go home to tonight. Babies & toddlers remained at daycare with no guardian to pick them up. A child vainly searched a workplace parking lot for missing parents.”

While all this is going on, thousands of refugees and asylum seekers are now languishing in private prisons in Mississippi—including one where a deadly riot broke out in 2012 in protest of insufficient food and medical care.

Today’s ICE raids in Mississippi were the *single largest one-day worksite raids on immigrants in U.S. history.* ICE raided workplaces where they rounded up 680 immigrant workers in six Mississippi cities. #MSICEraids #ICEraids

“Workers filled 3 buses—two for men & one for women—at a Koch Foods Inc. plant in tiny Morton. They were taken to a military hangar to be processed for immigration violations. About 70 family, friends and residents waved goodbye and shouted, "Let them go! Let them go!" #ICEraids
“A tearful 13-year-old boy whose parents are from Guatemala waved goodbye to his mother, a Koch worker, as he stood beside his father. Some employees tried to flee on foot but were captured in the parking lot.”

Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves has spent $5.7 million in the GOP primary for governor so far this year.

His GOP opponents, Bill Waller and Robert Foster, have spent less than $1.3 million combined ($1.1 million from Waller).

And yet, W+F have a combined 52% of the vote now. #MSelex
If that holds, Reeves will go to a runoff with Waller, whom he outspent 5-1.

Money ain’t everything, y’all. #MSelex

In this thread i will be discussing about JIHAD . pls read this thread till end so that you don't fall in the trap of muslim apologists and moderate muslims like @TheSamirAbbas

Cc: @Aabhas24 @Sanjay_Dixit @jihadwatchRS @ShefVaidya @sankrant @jkd18 @shivanginipatha
One of the things that you will always hear from muslim apologists is that jihad was only defensive and never offensive . This is completely false . In this thread i will only talk about offensive jihad . History of Islam as written by muslims shows us many examples of battle
And raids that were 100% purely offensive . The dozen of raids that I am aware of , were offensive . And some of the largest battles too (biggest example of this is Islamic invasion of India and rulers of delhi sultanate) . Infact the only battle which was defensive was

The ICE manual for undercover agents describes how agents & informants are allowed to break the law & can use "proceeds" from illegal businesses to fund their own operations in the field. Profits can also be paid to other agencies and foreign governments unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
ICE can also use profits from illegal business activity by undercover agents and/or informants to buy evidence, to pay themselves overtime, and pay for travel expenses unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
ICE provides cover to undercover agents and informants, as well as fake businesses for use during infiltration, using a variety of methods. One passage reveals how they are provided with fake social security numbers by the Social Security Administration unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…

I am proud to announce that I have been certified "dangerous and unprofessional" by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and I'm pleased to say that the feeling is mutual.
To be clear: the U.S. government believes it was "dangerous and unprofessional" of me to tell the story of a single mother arbitrarily detained by #ICE with no thought for her 8-year-old son, and to request support for her from my fellow citizens.

I have a problem with this.
ADDENDUM: Author requested that #ICE contact local @AILANational chapter to "share these concerns." ICE AILA liaison called later that week to inform me that #ICE believed that I was "endangering officer safety"...

...by advocating for public to call #ICE to support a client.
