Most of these raids work. The Colorado underground nightclub raid, for example. Shock and awe is effective. And people can say anything they want when asked who they are, so “confirm the immigrant status” at the outset of a raid is pie-in-the-sky.
But now, in the aftermath, it’s clear that this one was a definite screw-up, and the agency in charge should be doing everything possible to make things right. (And I don’t see that happening. And each day that it does NOT happen, it’s more fuel on the efforts to stop the ongoing efforts to address the illegal immigrant problem we have.)
It doesn’t mean those males don’t have their women or children living with them. (They didn’t arrest the women and children in this case, for the record.)
Certainly the operation was sloppy. A few days/weeks earlier and the suspects they were looking for might still have been living there.
Hey if they are going to move into a house where illegals may have lived in before them, it’s their fault for not vetting the previous owners/residents better amirite?
