Some advice for those who fear arrest by ICE and the Border Patrol.

Change your routines.
If you always go to Walmart on the weekend then change that up and go mid week. ICE and the Border Patrol plan their mass arrest based on the behavior of the local workers. I know they arrested a bunch in Syracuse NY at a Walmart on a Sunday because the immigrant workers who work at the racetrack are off on Sundays and Ice just waited for them.
Change your routine and don't make it easy on them.

A friend who has a relative on the Border Patrol in NY told me about a Sunday raid they made at a Walmart knowing that the only day off at the local racetrack was Sundays and all the immigrants did their shopping on Sunday.
It just seemed like a simple good idea to pass along.
