Picking bakers over organized crime

SAN DIEGO – A popular Pacific Beach bakery and restaurant was targeted Thursday in a search by federal immigration officials who took into custody workers suspected of being in the country illegally.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents executed a criminal search warrant at The French Gourmet on Turquoise Street near Cass Street at 7:45 a.m. said agency spokeswoman Lauren Mack.

She said the warrant was part of an “ongoing criminal investigation” and that agents expect to be at the eatery for several more hours.

The detainees will be fingerprinted, photographed and processed for deportation, Mack said. People with such humanitarian concerns as health or child care issues may be granted conditional release, Mack said.

She could not say how many people were taken into custody or why the business was targeted.

This story infuriates me on many levels:

1) What the hell is ICE doing arresting bakers who are feeding our thankless American asses for cheap when they could be going after narcos and "terrorists" (if there is even any)

2) how is this helping anyone anywhere? No, really, how is it helping anyone?

This point has been argued countless times but these people were not here to harm anyone, instead they are helping our economy while helping out their families in their poverty stricken countries... they are not a baker terrorist ring that bakes poisoned bread and leaves it on politicians doorsteps and plans to overthrow the country through an organized league or rogue bakers!!!!!!

3) To ICE I ask: Really???? Are you truly serious?? Of all the places you could go and seek evil doers, you chose a bakery in Pacific Beach???? PB was the choice for crime occuring and not the border itself??? The border where american "patriots" (ignorant racist idiots with too much time on their hands) harrass and hurt innocent people only guilty of having ambitions to help their families like anyone else? Where highly organized criminals on both sides of the border engage in extortion, murder and crime.

ITS A BAKERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THEY ARE PEOPLE JUST LIKE US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who wants to sign the petition to disband ICE and start the Department of Peace.....geezus!!!!!!!!!
