ICE Grabs 700 in Mississippi Making Wisconsin Dells Scared

ICE is the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Department of the United States Government.  ICE has detained 700 people in Mississippi making the Wisconsin Dells area very nervous.  ICE forces local involvement to protect those immigrating to the Wisconsin Dells area through an approved Federal process.

The Wisconsin Dells area is a well known haven for those entering the United States through non-approved means looking for work.  The Wisconsin Dells area has a well documented labor shortage that facilitates immediate employment for those seeking work.

The Wisconsin Dells area is a J1VISA Immigration Program site - millions of local public dollars are invested to provide new housing for people immigrating from outside of the Country to come in to Wisconsin Dells to support tourism efforts.

The Wisconsin Dells area is home to more than 4500 work experience travelers who come from outside of the Country through the J1VISA Immigration Program to support local tourism efforts.  The Wisconsin Dells area actually needs twice that many workers- meaning all business modals have vacant positions available.

The Wisconsin Dells area has been using public resources to build new housing for workers from outside of the Country who come through approved processes.  This includes staffed onsite guard like buildings that monitor the J1VISA Immigration Program workers presence in the Wisconsin Dells community.  The Village of Lake Delton has invested  resources in a new cloud based internet service that connects all public service departments enabling the organization of data through all interactions of each individual department -which functions to build a case and comply with ICE regulations.

These are local interventions to help assure the J1VISA Immigration Program participants they are less likely to be picked up and processed in the Wisconsin Dells area with an ICE raid.  Recall ICE does not give the local public service departments a heads up when they are working in the Wisconsin Dells area.  We find out when they are here.
