There appears to be a school of thought on the left that certain places, such as schools, should be safe zones for illegal immigrants, even if Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials are actually in pursuit of an illegal alien. That won’t fly with ICE, as a pair of illegal aliens in southeast Baltimore, Maryland, has discovered to their sorrow. Still, given the area, local officials wasted no time complaining about the arrest.
Video captured the arrests of two people Thursday by federal immigration agents outside a school in southeast Baltimore.
The arrests were recorded by bystanders on video that some may consider disturbing. The video shows U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents trying to put a man in handcuffs in the parking lot of a building on Fait Avenue that’s currently being used as a temporary home for Commodore John Rodgers Elementary/Middle School.
WBAL-TV 11 News reached out to ICE for comment about this incident and received a response shortly after 9 p.m. from acting Assistant ICE Secretary Lauren Bis, who said the man is identified as Jesus Acevedo-Sanchez, who the agency said was involved in a crash with an ICE vehicle in April.
In Thursday’s encounter, ICE said Acevedo-Sanchez “violently resisted arrest and used his vehicle to evade law enforcement, dragging an ICE officer in the process.”
Good. ICE was doing their job, which includes finding and detaining people who are in the country illegally. These illegal aliens can’t just dodge onto school grounds and claim immunity, but that appears to be what some local officials thought should happen.
