Feds arrest firefighters working on WA wildfire

Two people fighting the Bear Gulch fire on the Olympic Peninsula were arrested by federal law enforcement Wednesday, in a confrontation described by firefighters and depicted in photos and video. Why the two firefighters were arrested is unclear. But a spokesperson for the Incident Management Team leading the firefighting response said the team was "aware of a Border Patrol operation on the fire," that it was not interfering with the firefighting response and referred reporters to the Border Patrol station in Port Angeles.

More: According to one of the firefighters, they were denied the chance to say goodbye to the detained crew members.

"I asked them if his (family) can say goodbye to him because they're family, and they're just ripping them away," the firefighter told the Times. "And this is what he said: You need to get the (expletive) out of here. I'm gonna make you leave.'"

Didn't Pres Trump say that only violent and criminal immigrants would be snatched up?

I guess those firefighters fighting against a fire might qualify, in Pres trump's mind, to be violent?
