Ice raids happened in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, New York and a couple other states last night.
Twitter blew up last night with folks giving out check point locations and informing illegals where the raids were happening.
The exact terms vary by state. As of this writing in 2016, a total of 12 states plus the District of Columbia allow undocumented immigrants to obtain a driver's license. These 12 states include California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Vermont and Washington.

True but not like last night. Last night people went nuts on twitter about it, warning others an whatnot. ICE agents were anticipating picking up around 10000 before the days done.
Most are being transported to N. TX Dallas areas then from there they are being processed out of the country.

So aiding and abedding fugitives through twitter...

SACRAMENTO – California Senate President pro Tempore Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles) released the following statement on reports of raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement across Southern California:
“There are reports that ICE today executed raids across Southern California. I have asked federal officials to disclose how many children, men, and women they have detained; what the processing time will be; what the rationale is for their detention; and I asked that everyone be offered access to an attorney.
“To my constituents, I implore you to know your rights by visiting this website. We will continue to work aggressively to protect law-abiding immigrants because you and your families are a great value to our society.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is again denying social media reports that it has ramped up operations in east Charlotte, including suggestions it arrested dozens of undocumented Charlotte immigrants in the past week.
Among those reports is a widely circulated Facebook post that says 57 people have been picked up and are being held at a York County, S.C., facility for deportation.
Bryan Cox, a spokesman for ICE’s southern region, noted the York County holding site is the only ICE facility for North Carolina, and that people held there have been arrested across the entire state, not just in Charlotte. It also holds undocumented immigrants arrested in South Carolina towns such as Rock Hill and Fort Mill.

Kevin Leon is freaking out.
He probably caused this with his testimony this week that 1/2 his family are illegals

Well I think you know. But don't take my word for it, if they were allowed to do their job, why was morale so low?
No, I don't know. In fact:
President Obama deported record number of undocumented immigrants, despite what Donald Trump says
"Morale" is such a subjective word.

I thought being illegal immigrants they are not subject to the same constitutional rights as you and I...Now if so why should they be granted access to an attorney, at the same time was is a State Senator getting involved in disclosing law enforcement raids potentially putting Officers and Agents lives in jeopardy.
