'Reign of terror': Trump immigration raid blasted for targeting veteran [View all]

The Trump administration is coming under fire for an immigration raid in New Jersey that detained an American citizen who is also a military veteran.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents raided a Newark, New Jersey, business on Thursday. According to Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, “one of the detainees is a U.S. military veteran who suffered the indignity of having the legitimacy of his military documentation questioned.”

The raid comes just a few days after Donald Trump signed a flurry of anti-migrant executive orders as his administration and congressional Republicans plan to implement a policy of mass deportation. In an interview with longtime Trump admirer Sean Hannity on Fox News, Trump said his policy is focused on migrants who pose a security threat, which can be determined by merely looking at people.

“Open borders with people pouring in. Some of whom, I won’t get into it, but you can look at them and you can say, ‘Could be trouble, could be trouble,” Trump said. Trump is a racist who has expressed anti-migrant sentiment for years, largely targeting brown-skinned members of minority groups.
