> > these children at risk of family separation, economic hardship, and
> > psychological trauma. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE),
> > the interior enforcement arm of the Department of Homeland Security
> > (DHS), the federal agency charged with enforcing immigration laws,
> has
> > markedly increased the pace of worksite raids in the past few years
> to
> > apprehend undocumented immigrants: the number of undocumented
> immigrants
> > arrested at workplaces increased more than sevenfold from 500 to 3,600
> > between 2002 and 2006. These actions are part of intensified
> enforcement
> > activities, including deportation of immigrants who have committed
> > crimes; door-to-door operations to arrest immigrants with deportation
> > orders; and large-scale raids of suspected undocumented immigrants'
> > worksites. With the collapse of comprehensive immigration reform in
> > Congress, and the all but certain appropriation of additional
