I guess we shouldnt be too surprised that a guy who boasts about committing sexual assault thinks terrorizing children, hospital patients, churchgoers and grieving funeral attendees is his idea of making America great.
From NBC News:
The incoming Trump administration intends to rescind a long-standing policy that has prevented Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from arresting undocumented people at or near so-called sensitive locations, including houses of worship, schools and hospitals or events such as funerals, weddings and public demonstrations without approval from supervisors, according to three sources familiar with the plan.
President-elect Donald Trump plans to rescind the policy as soon as the first day he is in office, according to the sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the change publicly.
The move would be intended to boost ICEs authority to arrest migrants across the country, and its speed in doing so, as part of Trumps plan to carry out what he has said he wants to be the largest deportation operation in American history.

The US Border Patrol packed Mexican immigrants into trucks when transporting them to the border for deportation during Operation Wetback. You wonder what John Steinbeck thought of this. (Photo: US Border Patrol Museum)

Saw a video of a child being taken from their mother. But how would it look for a video of police knocking down the door of a church? A pastor or other religious leader being handcuffed and drug away.

Conducting a raid at any Tyson food processing plant.
Its American corporations that hire them afterall. It's also not a secret in any town with a meat packing plant located in a random Midwestern town that they have a sizeable Hispanic population. This has gone on since I was a kid. I have family that worked on the line and in the C suite office for Tyson. It's no secret to them.
