A federal immigration enforcement operation targeting Filipino teachers in Hawaii has ignited a firestorm of backlash, drawing widespread outrage from lawmakers and top education officials.

…

Multiple Filipino teachers on Maui were questioned by ICE agents as part of a federal search operation.

According to ICE, the warrant was executed on May 6 as part of an immigration investigation. A special agent confirmed that the residents were cooperative during the search.

“The occupants of the location were cooperative and HSI was able to conduct its search without interference or any impediment. For the safety of the agents and the occupants, residents of the home were briefly detained and interviewed in addition to the search. At the conclusion of the search, HSI special agents left the location without any arrests made,” ICE said in a statement.

This is just bigotry and harassment by cops too stupid and lazy to find real criminals to apprehend. What was their probable cause for a warrant? Something along the line of “there’s a lot of fereners living there, gotta go harass them and shake ’em down”?
