""When people see what they saw , like they will be for a long time, they know that they're not staying," he added.White House spokesman Judd Deere said it"does not direct law enforcement operations from ICE ... or any federal law enforcement organization."At least 680 undocumented immigrants were detained during Wednesday's raids on seven meat processing plants in six Mississippi cities.
