McAllen, Texas

Immigration has always been a hot topic. How a politician chooses to address border control can win voters. However, since Trump's presidency, the number of disputes has been rising. In Texas, there are children as young as 12 months being illegally detained at a hotel, the Hampton Inn & Suites. Trump's administration is using the Corona pandemic as a reason for keeping asylum seekers, refugees, and even legal migrants from Mexico out of America. But whether Trump approved the hostile environment produced by ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) is currently unknown.

Children that are detained have no access to attorneys, contact with outsiders, and are being held by "unknown" government officials. ICE has been at the forefront at raiding areas known to have migrants, a high concentration of minorities, and along the U.S.- Mexico border. Hence, why the involvement of ICE is extremely likely in this situation. The mysterious workers that are in essence kidnapping minors in unmarked vehicles have not had background checks, so at the moment there are no updates on what part of the government is involved.

This is not the first time scenarios like these are happening in the U.S. but reports on McAllen, Texas is confirming what many Americans believe to be true. The reality is that immigration is a heated issue for sure, however, will these random kidnappings stop and restart elsewhere along the border? The answer is yes, ICE has a history of doing exactly this.
