Earlier this morning, ICE officials raided a number of 7-Eleven stores.
JUST IN: ICE says immigration agents serve notices of inspection and conduct interviews with employees and managers at 98 7-Eleven franchise stores across the US today – @NBCPolitics

"ICE will continue its efforts to protect jobs for American workers by eliminating unfair competitive advantages for companies that exploit illegal immigration," ICE says after operation targeting 7-Eleven stores.

Derek Benner, a top ICE official, tells the AP that Wednesday’s operation was “the first of many” and “a harbinger of what’s to come” for employers.
He said there would be more employment audits and investigations, though there is no numerical goal.

Poor Apu.
let me guess, trump has shares in AM/PM

AM/PM and 7-Eleven are two different chains.
I can only imagine this discussion: "We need to hit 7-Eleven stores across the country. Illegal immigrants are stealing lucrative minimum wage 7-Eleven jobs from American citizens so let's send out our $60k+ a year ICE agents to check things out." #7Eleven

It’s not about what jobs they’re taking. It’s about them being here illegally.

Yes, because I can't think of one job more coveted by most Americans than making Slurpees?

Don’t be hatin’ on the Slurpees.

We’re so evil for wanting to enforce our laws, right?
The people who carry out these orders are as bad as the people who give them. Shame on the whole lot of them!

Probably.
Abolish ICE
— Zach Voigt (@voigtzr) January 10, 2018
Why? Because they’re doing their job of enforcing the law?
These is mean and cruel. No one is taking jobs away from Americans. They need to apply for the jobs. Such BS
— Sunshine (@RuthAnnDAngelo) January 10, 2018
BUT if they’re here illegally and they get a job that a legal citizen or resident could obtain, that IS taking jobs away from Americans.
Come on, Ruth. It’s simple.
Time & time again, these crackdowns generally remove ppl doing jobs Americans dont want to do. So now the ICE is also Commerce Enforcement? Jfc ?

Go to rural parts of America and SHOCKER! Most of the people behind the counter are white Americans.
