The O’Keefe Media Group on Thursday released undercover video of the Vera Institute Director confessing the non-profit “tips illegals off” on ICE agents’ whereabouts by using secret “notification system.”
“There’s been some really great work that has been done to create [ICE] notification systems,” Santiago Mueckay, Director of Advocacy for the Vera Institute of Justice told an OMG undercover reporter.
Mueckay boasted about how the Vera Institute helps illegals evade immigration officials.
“We know which states are being targeted…If you see someone [ICE agents], you can text the group, and then it’ll go on a website… so people can avoid the area,” Mueckay said.
“We [Vera] keep track of everything that’s happening with ICE,” he said.
