Once again, ICE officials are lying to the public. The statement that "if you're in the country illegally, you are a criminal” is flatly false.
But you don't have to trust me. Here is Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy explaining in 2012 how the law ACTUALLY works.
NEW: Trish Hyde is the ICE official who personally oversaw the agency’s operation in VA & MD.
I asked her to respond to critics who say only 400 of the 1,300+ illegal aliens arrested had a criminal history?
"If you're in the country illegally, you are a criminal,” Hyde said. You've broken the laws of our land."
