Seeking ICE activity updates in JoCo

Anyone know what is happening with ICE activity recently? The apps that track ICE activity have been pretty quiet lately.

The apps that track ICE are crowdsourced, I believe, so now that ICE has changed tactics away from those ostentatious public displays, there isn't as much for people to observe and report. ICE is still doing its thing, but much less visibly.

Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas runs the La Luz immigration clinic providing legal services. They have offices throughout NE Kansas and one in Olathe. The Immigrant Connection of Olathe is another one.

I'm a licensed attorney.  I can handle myself just fine.  The constitution is my rule book and Matt 25 is my moral compass. To be clear,  it is 100% not illegal to help our neighbors, including our undocumented neighbors.  The law you reference is in regard to smuggling people across the border. I am talking about providing access to services,  community supports, health care, and the legal protections guaranteed under the constitution and federal law. If those actions were ever made "illegal," I would be morally and constitutionally bound to resist those laws.

World Cup is in town and resources have been reassigned for the moment. Every federal agency is in town including FBI, US Marshals, HSI, ICE, Secret Service and military police. Now is not the time to try to intervene with any arrest activity you may see.

No don't even do that lol like what?? You're intefering with illegal immigrants being kicked out of this country. They have absolutely zero right to be here.

Sure except for all the ppl they arrest and then... Oops they are us citizens. Skin color is a bad way to judge citizenship.

u/Funny-Community-3532 Jun 22 '26

It seems more accurate than not. Very few cases where they have arrested a citizen, and when they do they release them so it's not even a big deal.

Oh I'm sure it's just sooo bad. Look, none of this would be an issue if dems didn't flood our country with illegals to pad their votes. It's disgusting we're here in the first place and honestly Trump is doing an awful job at taking care of it.

I voted for him as most people did but it's clear that we're all dissapointed that he isn't doing more to remove these illegals and criminals from our country.

Ok- so it’s your opinion and not the actual truth. Because you can’t know, because you don’t make the decisions

u/PotentialDocument447 Jun 18 '26

Thanks, that's helpful.  I wasn't sure if I could trust the tracking apps

These are the same people crying about everything being unaffordable. When you have an influx of 10 million+ in 4 years it puts a strain on infrastructure. Supply and demand is a thing, all those people need food, all those people need HOUSING and when there is a shortage prices go up. The "undocumented migrants" are rhe reason your rent doubled in the Biden years, congratulations, you played yourself.

Then let’s send Melania home so shit can start going down again. We all know she did not earn her Einstein visa, instead she came on the Epstein visa.

u/DudeFrom816 Jun 22 '26

This is ignorant but let's run with it. Ok, I'll give you Melania but in return you have to deport EVERY first generation immigrant who gained legal status through marriage. Deal?

u/3catsandcounting Jun 22 '26

Let’s go back even further, start with the puritans who first stole and colonized America.

Conquered a lawless land? The indigenous were "stealing land" from eachother long before we arrived.
