ICE Raid in Washington State - While Napolitano Speaks in Washington D.C.

Janet Napolitano, new director of DHS says she did not know about the raid in advance. It is not surprising... since ICE seems to have a mind of its own.  See "Napolitano orders review of WA Raid" -- Seattle Times, February 25, 2009

There was a hearing today of the House Committee on Homeland Security.  A few hours before the hearing, 9 people were detained by ICE in Houston.  See Houston Chronicle article "Immigration Agents arrest 9 at Ship Channel,"  February 25, 2009*

"Immigration officials arrested nine suspected illegal immigrants on Wednesday at a sweep at the Greens Port Terminal, a cargo loading and unloading facility on the Houston Ship Channel.

Yolanda Choates, a spokeswoman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said the joint operation with local authorities also led to the arrest of a U.S. citizen with four outstanding criminal warrants.

Choates said she was unsure which company or companies employed the nine illegal immigration suspects found during the morning raid." Houston Chronicle, February 25, 2009
