Top Democrats on the House Judiciary and Homeland Security committees are demanding documents from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regarding plans to send elite law enforcement units typically assigned to the southern border to take part in arrest operations in sanctuary cities across the country.
In a letter to acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf on Monday, the Democratic lawmakers demanded a "full briefing" within a week as well as documents by March 2 listing details such as the cities where the specially trained officers are expected to be deployed and the duration of their assignment.
"The committees have serious concerns over the utility of engaging these highly militarized units, which were never intended for routine immigration enforcement activities, in densely populated metropolitan areas," Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and subcommittee chairwomen of the two panels, Reps. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) and Kathleen Rice (D-N.Y.), wrote in the letter.
"Tactics such as these, which appear to be politically motivated and not grounded in national security, are unacceptable and do nothing more than punish residents and instill fear in communities," they wrote.
The letter comes days after the administration confirmed it would send 100 border patrol officers to sanctuary cities to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Well I guess they can demand all they want.
I demand that they stop letting savage criminals out into my neighborhood.
Nope. Watch CNN for coordinated armed raids. Suck it!
“Death to America,” the Democrats explained.
From November 15 until December 21, 1864, Union General William T. Sherman led some 60,000 soldiers on a 285-mile march from Atlanta to Savannah, Georgia. The purpose of Sherman’s March to the Sea was to frighten Georgia’s civilian population into abandoning the Confederate cause.
The Executive Branch is taking care to see that the laws are faithfully executed.
Democrats have a serious problem with this, huh?
Yes, they are being deployed ... next question
And exactly how would they use this information?
Democrats have been so emphatic about the “rule of law” during the impeachment charade. It’s a shame they don’t care at all about the rule of law when it doesn’t support their biased goals.
We don’t comment on ongoing law enforcement actions.
Yes it is “politically motivated” If you don’t like it, win an election. Probably gonna be a while though.
We’re arresting parolees (how can you even GET parole while being an illegal? Don’t understand that in the slightest...), those who beat women and children (and rarely men) AKA domestic violence convictions, DUI/OUI convictions, etc.
I’d love to see ICE come to capital hill and pin legislators down to which types of criminals (that’s who these raids go after, convicted felons) they want them to not apprehend. Or how many officers they want put in danger because sufficient force isn’t available to discourage attacks.
Make some great commercial material for election season.
Pound sand, bastard rats.
Trump should tweet “Watch and Learn.”
Don’t give them answers, they’re trafficking everything through illegals .
Tell the communists NOTHING.
Give the communists NOTHING.
Communists are the enemy from within.
So, some people are above the law?
To conduct new impeachment hearings.
