Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials arrested 680 people from Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, San Antonio and New York City last week whom they say pose a threat to public safety. During a joint press conference with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Trump praised Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly and said the raids were fulfilling a campaign promise. Kelly emphasized that the operations were "routine” though immigration advocates claim ICE’s actions go well beyond what the previous administration did. The executive order Trump signed last month gives the Department of Homeland Security the power to go after undocumented immigrants who have minor offenses or no convictions at all. The New York Democrat also called out ICE for its lack of transparency and potential due process violations.
