ICE ¨enforcement¨ RAIDS​:

● ¨federal raids targeting undocumented migrant parents and their children.¨

● ¨-the beginning of the Trump administration’s plan to swiftly enforce deportation
orders against some 2,000 recently arrived migrants who are not eligible to
remain in the country.¨
● Children that are involved are either sent back to the parents to their
country(mexic0) or are sent to be in the foster care system in america.
● Parents/subjects of the raid have a possibility to go in jail
● Some ICE raids are illegally initiated without a warrant.
● CAN accuse subjects of false crimes in order to have a reason to arrest.

DACA/DREAM:
● ¨The purpose of D ​ ACA is​ to protect eligible immigrant youth who came to the 
United States when they were children from deportation.¨ 
● Eligible if you are under the age of 31. 
● President Obama created DACA on June 15, 2012,  
●  
 

GREEN CARD:
● ¨A green card, known officially as a Permanent Resident Card, is a document issued to 
immigrants under the Immigration and Nationality Act as evidence that the bearer has been 
granted the privilege of residing permanently in the United States. ¨ 
● Needed sometimes to apply for jobs, mortgages, homes, etc.  
● ̈Immigrants must qualify for a ​green card​, which allows them to live and work in 
the U.S. legally. ¨ This gives an importance to the green card since this is what 
lets migrants have paid jobs and being able to reside in the U.S.  
● Without these green cards, you may not reside in the US for less than 180 days 
and federal forces have reasoning to deport you (also not allowed residence, a 
house, possible job or renewing a driver's license (sometimes)). 
● To get a green card you must fill out a form or two along with an interview to see 
if you are applicable for a green card.  
 
ETC:
● Similar to a DACA is a temporary protected status (TPS)
● There is a migrant detention centers/facilities that hold children and migrants in
cells that have been described as ̈unsanitary ̈ and ̈inhumane ̈ conditions.
● The 2,000-plus separated children will likely need to deal with court
proceedings of being an immigrant.
● Children as young as 2 years are being processed in court and slightly older
children are expected to testify.
● DAY WITHOUT IMMIGRANTS is a boycott in all daily activities such as
jobs/schools to show what america would be without immigrants. That
took place feb 7th 2017. So past tense actually.
