Occupy ICE?

 

More than a dozen protesters have camped outside of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Detroit, the field office for Michigan and Ohio, with the hope of shutting it down.

 

The organizers have been gathered outside the federal building at Jefferson Avenue and Mount Elliot Street since Saturday. They said they planned to stay for a week.

 

"We want to physically, through mass action, shut down ICE operations," says Kate Stenvig, an organizer with By Any Means Necessary. "We are enforcing Detroit as a sanctuary city."

The organizations involved are calling for a shutdown of the nation's detention centers, immediate reunification of children with their families, asylum for all immigrant parents detained trying to enter the United States, and the abolition of ICE.

No doubt.  I know the office is closed on Monday’s, but come tomorrow this may impact those trying to immigrate legally.

In Montana, they have this thing, it’s called obstruction of justice.  If only Michigan had such a thing...

I am surprised they are letting a dozen or so protestors get away this.

From the bolded part up top you could add charges for aiding and abetting those who violate immigration laws to obstruction of justice. Anyone who operates or aids in the operation of a sanctuary city should be charged criminally.

I agree.  But optics seem to rule our world, these days.
