Wow, missed this while I was out of town. Maybe this has happened in Reno before, but I can't remember a targeted raid.
While I feel bad for those who were affected, I don't fault the INS or ICE or whatever they are called these days.
For one thing, plenty of immigrants come over to the U.S. legally; by allowing or overlooking others who are taking advantage of the system illegally, what message does that send to those who made (or plan to make) the effort? And if it's ok for those who are illegally working here to break that law, then how much thought or concern might there be about breaking other laws?
