"Do you know where the incident happened? Let's go and take a look now." Jack opened the car door and asked Lacroix.

"Yes, yes, I know, it's at an immigration relief center on Long Island." Lacroix was stunned for a moment, and then he looked up in shock, his face no longer calm as before.

Saboban's heavy body quickly changed direction on the spot, and the tires rubbed against the ground, making an ear-piercing scream.

Jack put down his cell phone and turned the steering wheel. He had just briefly explained the situation to Dana Moge on the phone, and then turned to look at Lacroix, who was absentmindedly in the back seat.

"Obviously, you were targeted by Tiger Kane's gang from the beginning. When paying the ransom, he not only recognized you at a glance, but also mentioned your daughter."

Lacroix rubbed his face vigorously, and then he calmed down and regained some sense. He was silent for a moment and nodded heavily, "Yes, Jack, you are right, they must have someone in our system."

The system he is talking about is not limited to the FBI, but is a general term for the entire federal law enforcement system, which also includes the immigration police of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement).

The sages of China have long put forward the view that "those who are from the Chinese and the Chinese are from the Huaxia; and those from the Chinese who are from the Yi and the Di are from the Yi and Di", replacing the so-called lineage theory with cultural identifications such as clothing and etiquette.

What is very different from this advanced thinking is that the extreme ancestry theory and the so-called pluralism trend in European and American countries have now formed two extremes, seriously dividing their societies. As a country of immigrants, the United States has always been at the forefront.

Tiger Kane’s remarks are indeed stupid, but there are actually not a few people who agree or agree with some of his views, or even sympathize with him. Considering the frequent illegal gatherings and speeches he has held over the years, federal law enforcement agents have secretly joined in. It doesn't seem surprising.

Saboban soon came to a relief center on Long Island. To be precise, it was a "food bank". In ancient times, it would be called a charity house or a soup kitchen.

Unlike those poor Americans with official status, even if they become homeless, they can get enough food to avoid hunger through regularly distributed welfare coupons. They can also go to the income house regularly to take a bath and sleep comfortably. Sleep.

But many undocumented illegal immigrants do not enjoy these benefits for the bottom class. Some even fear being deported. Even if some shelters do not check their identities, they dare not go in and have a bowl of hot soup.

This relief point is specially opened for these illegal immigrants without status. The people working there are also people who have just obtained status and want to help their compatriots.

A black man with dreadlocks was greeting them at the door, and there was still a hint of fear that had not dissipated on his face.

"When we were about to close the door, those ICE agents rushed in. They herded everyone together and asked to see their IDs one by one."

"Did they produce a search warrant?" Hannah asked with a frown.

"I don't know, I didn't see it at all anyway. They took away a total of ten Latina girls, plus Tully." The guy with the dreadlocks spoke very clearly, without the unique rap accent of his compatriots who were wandering the streets. .

"Didn't anyone tell them Tully's identity?" Lacroix seemed to recognize him and stretched out his hand to shake his hand. The two walked into the relief center while talking.

The relief site itself is a small warehouse, filled with shelves filled with various easy-to-store flours and cans, and a packaging line for repackaging these foods.

The waste in the United States is not only reflected in energy, but the waste in food is even more serious. A family of three or four often goes to the supermarket to buy all kinds of food at once for a week or even more than that, and then spends the rest of the day. Over time, throw away half or more of it.

In order to encourage environmental protection and avoid waste, some charitable and environmental organizations will cooperate with the government to encourage such families to donate excess food that is still within the shelf life in exchange for some points.

These points can be used to offset part of the tax. For example, if a piece of expired bread with a label worth one dollar is donated, the tax of ten dollars can be deducted from the original price.

Naturally, some "small businesses" have emerged from this, but it has indeed increased the food sources of these food banks in a sense.

"Of course I did. I kept yelling that she was a student from a nearby middle school. The other children who came to help also told the group. Tully even told one of them that her father was from the FBI.

But their agent in charge said she didn't look American and took her away by force, sorry, you know how it is here, none of us here dared to stop them. "

It can be seen that this person has only obtained a green card and has not been naturalized. Otherwise, he would not be so afraid of those ICE agents.

"Interesting, Tully must be the most authentic American among these people, right?" Jack heard Lacroix talk about his daughter on the way here and couldn't help but sarcastically said.

Lacroix's wife is a female soldier with Aboriginal ancestry. She died for her country not long ago in Afghanistan, so their daughter Tully is an impeccable American no matter which side you consider, even if she is indeed Looks like a Latino.

"I'm very sorry. I tried my best." The black guy with dreadlocks looked very guilty.

Jack waved his hand, indicating that the sarcasm in his words was not directed at him. Now it was clear that the other party was directed at Lacroix's daughter Tully. How could a Girl Scout who was participating in charity activities carry this with her? Wearing proof of identity.

Everyone came to the other side of the warehouse, where some white children wearing Boy Scout hats and their parents gathered. They were talking together. The children's faces were still a little frightened and uneasy. It seemed that they had been What happened before was very scary.

"What is going on?" A short, fat old Indian man walked towards Lacroix with an angry face. He seemed to be his father-in-law, who was Tully's grandfather.

"This was just given to me by Tully's classmate Chloe. Why didn't those guys let her bring her mobile phone?" The old man held a mobile phone in his hand and pointed at a redhead standing with his parents not far away. Little white girl.

"Let me make a few calls first. I need to know who is the detective in charge who ordered this operation." Lacroix took out his cell phone. Although the time on the road had allowed him to regain his apparent calmness, The slightly trembling hands still betrayed his true heart.

"I'll go with you." The old Indian man was so angry that his lips trembled slightly. After losing his daughter, his granddaughter had become the old man's only thought in the world.

"Leave it to me, Nelson. Mary Lou is not well and needs your company. This is a stupid misunderstanding. I will take Tully home soon. She is a strong girl and will be fine." Lacroix put a hand on his shoulder and comforted him.

He concealed the truth and didn't want the old man to worry too much. At this moment, Jack, Hannah and Lacroix's cell phones rang almost at the same time, as if it was an ominous warning, which shocked people.

Dana Moger's suppressed angry voice came from Jack's phone, "Just now, Emma Kane walked into a St. Mary's Church in Saugerties and shot and killed 12 pregnant women. Another 13 people were injured, some of whom were illegal immigrants, and all of them were Latino."

Hannah and Lacroix received the same news, but the people calling them were different. Logically speaking, they should rush back to the operations center together now.

Seeing the tangled look on Lacroix's face, Jack directly made the decision for him, "Let's go back to Manhattan together. Hannah will go back to the office first to learn the details. I will accompany you to the ICE New York office."
