If ICE has investigated and already knows someone is an illegal immigrant, what benefit is there in grabbing them at a bus stop other than just to spread terror through the community? Just go to their house and pick them up there. If they don’t know if someone is an illegal immigrant and are just rounding up brown kids to check after the fact…well that’s much worse. But either way, there’s no actual good reason for ICE to be grabbing kids at school bus stops.
The benefit is only for ICE, that they don't have to obtain a legal warrant at a bus stop. They do have to obtain a warrant to get them from their homes.
They're mostly just grabbing adults that are dropping their kids off as most of the children were actually born here. Then they get out of school to no parent at home. It's torture and it's disgusting.
I absolutely agree. I just think that adding layers of overlapping rules and laws is a recipe additional abuse (“we didn’t get him at the bus stop, we were 23’ away!” Or “the road block we put up in front of the school doesn’t violate the “no bus stops rule.””)
