Passaic Mayor Hector Lora, New Jersey, said on a New Jersey Spotlight News broadcast on Monday that there were no immigrant raids or massive indiscriminate attacks at schools and churches in the city, saying, “Ice Agents have 3 He said he wouldn't be in the grade class, and he's looking for a paper. … That won't happen.”
Lora said, “[W]eThere were no raids or raids within our city. If you define an assault when immigrant enforcement comes… you don't randomly grab a group of individuals, ask for papers, then roll them up and bring them. . What happened was a number of strategic and coordinated operations targeting violent criminals in the city. We have not raided at schools, our worship houses. Our community has encouraged us to continue working and shopping. I reminded them that there was an operation under all governments. ”
He continued. “Towards here, ICE agents are taking part in third grade classes and not seeking papers. What are they going to receive, paper with crayons drawn on them, or drawing crayons? It doesn't happen. The kids don't go to school with paperwork. That's not what's happening.”
