Immigrant Advocates demonstrate against ICE in Lake Worth Beach

Immigration advocates post signs throughout Lake Worth Beach after recent arrests

Demonstrators posted messages in areas where they say community members were detained by authorities

Immigration advocates in Lake Worth Beach took to the streets Thursday to raise awareness about federal immigration enforcement in their community, posting signs with bold black-and-white messages throughout areas where community members have been detained.

The demonstration began with a prayer at the Guatemalan Maya Center in Lake Worth Beach before volunteers spread out across the city to post their message.

Florida law enforcement officers are deputized by federal authorities to make immigration arrests under what are called 287(g) agreements. State records show more than 3,500 287(g) arrests have taken place in Florida since Aug. 1.

The demonstrators traveled through the city posting signs with messages "FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL KIDNAPPED SOMEONE HERE," or "ICE KIDNAPPED A COMMUNITY MEMBER HERE" in areas where community members (a.k.a. Illegals) were detained.

A Vigil at Guatemalan Center today supporting illegals

ICE raids in Lake Worth Beach

A vigil will take place today at the Guatemalan-Maya Center in honor of an unaccounted number of people detained this week during immigration-enforcement operations in central Palm Beach County

The Dec. 8 immigration raid at the construction site of Lake Worth Station, an apartment complex that will feature workforce housing units at 906 G St., off 10th Ave North.

Lake Worth Beach City Commissioner Christopher McVoy said the raid is an example of how immigration enforcement operations aren't going after "the worst of the worst" but instead after vulnerable immigrants who are the workers and neighbors in their communities.

"Here we have a large site that some of it is workforce housing, and FHP is interfering with that construction process by conducting raids on a construction site," McVoy said. "It makes no sense."

Palm Beach Post

I think it makes all the sense in the world. Illegals are at construction sites. And Commissioner, they broke the law by entering our counry illegally. Democrats don't want to acknowledge that simple truth.

And P.S....and Miami voters, don't ever vote for U.S. Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, a Miami Republican, again. She was a big part of the problem that Miami elected a Democrat mayor after 30 years.

ICE in Lake Worth Beach

Community advocates document what they call 'city-wide raid' in Lake Worth Beach

Community advocates in Lake Worth Beach say a coordinated law enforcement operation earlier this week left families frightened and scrambling — and raised new concerns about how immigration enforcement is unfolding in local neighborhoods.

Residents and local organizations tell WPTV they spent hours recording and tracking what they describe as a "city-wide raid," involving several agencies, including Border Patrol, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and the Florida Highway Patrol.

Inside the Guatemalan Maya Center, Christmas presents typically meant to bring joy to local families now sit untouched. Staff say instead of focusing on holiday support, they have shifted to helping families stay together.

"Border Patrol, HSI and other law enforcement agencies… they began detaining people early in the morning — mainly traffic stops… landscaping, construction… we saw it across the city," said Mariana Blanco, the center's director of operations.

Blanco says she and members of the advocacy group P.E.A.C.E. mobilized quickly as videos circulated showing workers running from a construction site and a mix of marked and unmarked law enforcement vehicles in different areas of the city.

I don't know why this is such a surprise--We have tons of illegals living in this city.

Republican tells the truth; Liberals call him "racist"

Immigrant advocates: Rep. Roth's comments linking COVID-19 spike to undocumented migrants 'racist'

Well, of course, they would call this "racist." It's the only descriptive adjective liberals have against the truth.

"Officials with the Guatemalan Maya Center in Lake Worth Beach say Republican state Rep. Rick Roth made offensive remarks about undocumented immigrants during a virtual meeting this week with local community leaders to promote vaccination efforts.

State Rep Rick Roth, of West Palm Beach, allegedly connected the swelling number of COVID-19 cases nationwide to the surge of migrants (aka ILLEGALS)on the U.S.-Mexican border and urged those participating in Wednesday's call — mostly health-care professionals — to write President Biden and urge him to close the border."

More BS in Lake Worth (Beach)

Guatemalan Maya Center in Lake Worth Beach targeted in possible hate crime

"LAKE WORTH BEACH — The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a vandalism incident at the Guatemalan Maya Center in Lake Worth Beach as a possible hate crime.

When employees arrived at the center located at 430 North G Street on Thursday morning, they found a swastika spray-painted onto the building next to front-door entrance.

Also spray-painted onto the building were two messages: “Voting won’t stop us this time” and “God Bless America.”

The Guatemalan Maya Center has provided services to immigrant families, including undocumented workers, for three decades." [PBPost]

More than likely it is some liberal junkies falling all over themselves with their normal hate.  We're on the map now, baby!

Plan to Deny Green Cards to Immigrants on Public Assistance

President Trump to reduce immigrant public benefits abuse

And the those on the Left are going bananas and of course some of them plan to sue.

"Trump administration rules that could deny green cards to immigrants who use Medicaid, food stamps, housing vouchers or other forms of public assistance are going into effect, one of its most aggressive moves to restrict legal immigration."  Immigrants already have to prove they won't be a burden to this country.

As Lake Worth is a "Welcoming City" and the Guatemalan-Maya Center is here giving assistance to illegals and other immigrants as well as encouraging them to cross our border, this will affect possibly thousands who live in our city.

The Rules

Lake Worth Guatemalan Center teaching illegals how to impede ICE

"If ICE comes, Palm Beach County immigrants told they have rights, too"

You hear it all the time in Lake Worth..."We like our diversity."  I was told that by Betty Resch years ago.  Well, folks, you have plenty of it in Lake Worth with the Black and Hispanic population at over 62%.  AND a lot of them crossed our border illegally. The percentage of Blacks and Hispanics in our local schools is higher than that. Government is printing everything in three languages to accommodate all those who don't speak English.

Migrants learn Rights... at Lake Worth Guatemalan Center.

On April 17, 2018, Omari Hardy, our alt-Left commissioner on the dais, brought forth Resolution 24-2018 Welcoming City. The Vote was 4/0--Mayor Pam Triolo was absent for the meeting. They wanted everyone to feel welcome in LWB including illegals who have broken our laws.

On December 4, 2018, the idea of community ID's passed on a 3/1 vote at the Lake Worth City Commission meeting, Scott Maxwell dissenting. Commissioner Amoroso said he put it on the Agenda because he was concerned about the census and not getting our fair share of federal dollars because of immigrants who will not fill out the census. All this coddling of illegals.

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement plans to begin the previously postponed raids across the country Sunday to arrest thousands of migrant families who already have court orders to be removed. Now we have the Guatamalan Center in our city teaching illegals who have defied a court order (and therefore have NO rights), on how to further break the law.  This is outrageous.
