hi friends I'm continuing my discussion
about ice ice is hot these days in this
video I'm specifically going to speak
about who they are targeted stay tuned
[Music]
friends thanks for watching this video
thanks for subscribing to McBean
immigration law TV and go ahead and hit
that notification bell if you've not yet
done so because you want to be the first
to get wind of my videos each week
friends as I've said in my opening and
my intro ice is really hot during this
time why is ice so hot ice is hot
because President Trump has placed a
huge emphasis on interior enforcement
when I say interior I mean within the
United States now ice has been around
for a long time since 2002 it was
created under President George Bush
after 9/11 but they've basically been
under the radar doing their job for
years until President Trump became
president and placed this emphasis on
the crackdown of immigrants within the
United States now they have a six
billion dollar budget you should know
that they do have a very large budget to
do their work and so their work their
mission as stated on their website is to
protect America from the cross-border
crime and illegal immigration that
threatens national security and public
safety so this whole emphasis on public
safety makes sense because again it is a
law enforcement agency now who are they
targeting firstly they're targeting
people who have committed very serious
crimes you go on their website friends
they have ice most wanted list and it'll
give you the chills it will give you the
chills because people have committed
some very serious crimes and so they're
going after those people they're also
going after people who have committed
other crimes right crimes that do not
make it to their most-wanted list some
of those crimes may very well be a
misdemeanor such as a crime against a
child or two like child endangerment
here in New York which is a misdemeanor
or domestic violence offenses or drug
offenses drug possession which is a very
serious offense they're going after
people who have committed those types of
crimes thirdly they're going after
people who have a final order of removal
that was
issued by an immigration judge these are
people who are still here and despite
the fact that they have this final
removal order or they may have left and
came back in so they're focusing on
those individuals as well and then
lastly they there's this big pot of
people right a very general category
known as immigration violators
immigration violators maybe people who
have committed fraud or
misrepresentation in applying for a
green card or naturalization or people
who are just basically here in an
unlawful status you might be saying to
yourself that is a huge pot you may very
well be in that pot right and so if
you're thinking well attorney mcmean how
could they find me if I'm in this very
big pot with millions of other people
and I would say this to you again they
are a law enforcement agency they have
tools that we know about and tools that
we certainly don't know about right
meaning they have data they have data
data is supplied from many different
sources friends whether nowadays data is
being supplied through social media so
be careful about your social media
presence data is supplied when you apply
for a benefit to the government and you
may have been denied and so they know
that this individual is here and he or
she does not have a lawful status as of
today so friends they have their ways
again in summary as a law enforcement
agency they're going after people who
they believe have violated our
immigration laws particularly they're
focusing on the four categories of
people that we just talked about friends
in my next video I'm going to speak
about expedited removal because that's
connected to all of this so stay tuned
for that video and thanks again for
watching bye-bye
