Looks like ICE is preparing for eastern Pa.

 WILL LARGE TASKFORCE SOON BE ACTIVE IN EASTEN PA.

SEVERAL NEW FACILITES TO AID IN DEPORTATION

ICE must be planning on upping the anti on immigration enforcement in Eastern Pa. The new facility they just purchased in Berks county can only be used when a enhanced presence comes to eastern Pa. It could be expected that this facility could also be used for processing migrants from New Jersey and New York. 

At present it seems most ICE activities have been in the Midwest and West coast, a least by large numbers of  organized forces. While ICE activities are ongoing all over the country, including in eastern Pa., it does appear that large organized efforts are in the process of moving to specific areas and then when all the low hanging or easy to find suspects are rounded up, then moving on to other high priority places. 

While many believe that bad publicity and high profile incidents will slow enforcement, that probably is not the case. As time goes on and policies are perfected we can assume that they have a long list of potential places for high propriety focus. It seems they are taking particular interest in voter roles as a means of choosing those priorities. We can assume there are also other ways of them prioritizing their efforts.

In Pa. most of the law enforcement agencies have good communications with ICE and alert them when they apprehend illegal migrants. We can assume that ICE task forces will soon identify were that is not case and make their decisions accordingly.

Areas with political obstruction may be the places that they feel a task force approach is needed.

It may be the case that areas were politicians make the most effort to protect illegal migrants will be placed on the priority list for high profile task force enforcement. They may be better served to at least give the appearance of cooperation rather than making transparent challenges.
