ICE set up a fake University, then arrested two hundred fifty undocumented students. University of Farmington looked legit, but recent court revealed that the University's "staff" were all undercover ICE agents from homeland security. It has been over 9 months that they revealed the fake university, earlier this year eight people who were "recruiters" for the University, and helped at least 600 students to remain in the country without documents and they were charged with federal conspiracy. Nearly 80 percent of those who were arrested voluntarily leave the united states, Another 10 percent of students received a "final removal order" said the judge and federal agents. the final 10 percent of students have challenged their deportations by filing for legal relief or by contesting their removals with Executive Office.In my opinion this was a horrible act be ICE. Who would think of making a fake University just to arrest a few students with expired st...

ICE tried to deport a US-born Latino Veteran. The Latino Veteran is named Jilmar Ramos-Gomez, Jilmar was detained last December by the US customs or ICE. ICE accused him of trespassing charges. ICE and country officials accused Jilmar Ramos-Gomez of being an immigrant. Even though Jilmar showed his ID and his book passport and they still detained him. He was detained for three days and he was set to be deported, until his mother contacted an attorney to get him out of jail. He was found innocent. Police Captain Curtis VanderKooi served a twenty hour of unpaid suspension for arresting Jilmar Ramos-Gomez.

The decreasing numbers of immigration is one of the reason why Mexico is cooperating with the US. Mexico has been very strict with their third-party country coming to their territory, there was an incident a few months back that people from Honduras came to Mexico border to try to cross to the states. Even though Mexico doesn't agree with all the immigration laws that Trump makes, they are aggressively pushing those who are from the third party country out of Mexico. The new President of Mexico Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO)  agreed with trump and all his immigration ideas. In my opinion this makes sense I can really relate to this because I live in Calexico which is one of the border city. I still remember when they closed the border for two weeks because all the Hondurians were planning to cross border without any legal papers. They had the patrols patrol 24/7 due to this rumours. https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/10/immigration-enforcement-mexico-cooperating-wi...
