But phony masks have already made it to front-line workers in other cases. Over the past year there has been more than 1,250 raids by law enforcement resulting in the seizure of millions of fake masks.

Garaufis also ordered the government to put together a status report on the DACA program by Jan. 4. โ€œEvery time the outgoing administration tried to use young immigrants as political scapegoats, they defiled the values of our nation. The Trump administration had announced the end of the program in 2017, leading to the legal challenges that wound up in front of the Supreme Court. For the second time, a court has ordered the administration to resume processing DACA applications.

Acting Homeland Security chief: Timing of ICE raids 'unfortunate'

Read full article: Acting Homeland Security chief: Timing of ICE raids 'unfortunate'

(CNN) - President Donald Trump's acting Homeland Security secretary expressed regret Sunday about the timing of immigration raids in Mississippi this week given the emotional state of the nation in the wake of two mass shootings. McAleenan explained in the interview the immigration enforcement actions -- which occurred in the days after a gunman in El Paso, Texas, targeted Latinos and immigrants, and another shooter opened fire in Dayton, Ohio -- were long-planned. "In terms of the ICE operations, these are enforcement operations that are part of their daily cycle," he said. The raids, he said, are "believed to be the largest single-state immigration enforcement operation in our nation's history." McAleenan wouldn't say on Sunday whether Trump himself was aware of the raids before they began, instead saying, "the President doesn't run law enforcement operations."

The group, which was originally uncovered by ProPublica, featured jokes about migrant deaths and derogatory posts and images of Latina members of Congress. "Those posts are unacceptable," McAleenan said. Ocasio-Cortez -- who was personally attacked in a sexually graphic post in the group -- asked McAleenan about what he knew about the group prior to the media reports and whether any agents involved were still on the force. Posts in the group featured comments about the death of a teen Guatemalan migrant in Weslaco, Texas, such as "oh well" and "if he dies he dies." This is an agency that rescues 4,000 people a year, that's absolutely committed to the well-being of everyone that they interact with," McAleenan responded.
