ICE Gestapo Strikes Long Island

Another workplace raid, another example in the endless list of examples of ICE agents shoving policies and procedures into the circular file.
GARDEN CITY, N.Y. - Federal agents displayed a "cowboy" mentality while running roughshod over local police officers _ at times pointing their weapons at cops _ and ensnared more suspected illegal aliens than targeted gangsters in raids on Long Island last week, officials said Tuesday.

"There were clear dangers of friendly fire," Nassau County Police Commissioner Lawrence Mulvey said. "We did have members that were actually drawn upon."

Also, true to form, they racially profiled people as they cast their nets.
In one case, Mulvey said, "ICE sought a 28-year-old defendant using a photograph taken when he was a 7-year-old boy."
Any guesses on how they kinda sorta perhaps i think so maybe indentified their target? If skin color didn't have anything to do with it, then call me Pancho Clause and get me ready for La Navidad.
