Trump considers pulling ICE out of California to let the state learn

President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he’s considering pulling Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers out of California.

Why? Because he feels the state is giving his administration “no help” in targeting the violent MS-13 gang, especially in Los Angeles.

“We’re getting no help from the state of California,” Trump said from the White House. “Frankly, if I wanted to pull our people from California you would have a crime nest like you’ve never seen in California. All I’d have to do is say ‘ICE and border patrol, let California learn.’”

Trump made those remarks during a meeting at the White House where he also spent a few minutes scolding California.

“You would see crime like nobody’s ever seen crime in this country,” he said of California without federal immigration agents. “And yet we get no help from the state of California.”

He also took a shot at leadership in the state.

“They are doing a lousy management job,” Trump said. “They have the highest taxes in the nation and they don’t know what’s happening out there. Frankly, it’s a disgrace, the sanctuary city situation, the protection of these horrible criminals in California and other places. If we ever pulled our ICE out and we ever said, ‘hey, let California learn and let them figure it out for themselves,’ in two months, they’d be begging for us to come back. They would be begging.”

Would the president really do such a thing?

“You know what, I’m thinking about it,” Trump said.

Thank God my In laws accepted an offer on their house today. They close in 3 weeks. They have been in Thousand Oaks since 1972 and are hitting the panic button. Interest rates up, housing at crazy prices, Moonbeam bankrupting their state. They are pulling up stakes and retiring to NV.

Reagan conservatives in Ventura County heading west with their guns. (oh wait, they lost most of them in a boating accident).

Fast boil versus cooking the frog slowly. Mayhem ensuing from avowed non-enforcement would overwhelm current California politics.

Gotta think like Trump!

His WARNING is meant to STIR the voters in California, bringing them to BEG for help, SHUN their ROTTEN elected officials and to VOTE SMARTER in upcoming elections.

I live in CA so I say no!

Triple down and send more ICE agents here. If you pull ICE out of CA, the Democrats will claim victory.

[clamper1797]

Libtards are too stupid to learn

[Chuckster]

“You know what, I’m thinking about it,”

ROFLOL!!

[Caipirabob]

Lord I do love it so when he yanks lefty chains...😂😂😂

[Amish with an attitude]

Pull Federal funding too.

[Secret Agent Man]

Learn, rhymes with Burn, and thats with a capital B ...

You have failed in your duty to protect California from invasion and you blame throw on us? F that.

[Mozzafiato]

Here's the solution, pull ICE out and just re-direct the border wall.

THIRD GENERATION NATIVE OF SAN DIEGO HERE AND I'M OLD because I'm also a FIRST YEAR Baby-Boomer.

CA was first INVADED by EASTERNERS WHO BROUGHT THEIR LIBERAL POLITICS WITH THEM. For proof, I give you Senators Feinstein and the former Senator Boxer (both NY imports) and Nancy Pelosi (Maryland import).

Ronald Reagan could NEVER win election in today's CA.

I can remember sitting in my 6th grade class when we had 2 kids with surname "Brown," 2 kids with the surname "Smith," and just one "Jones." The teacher asked all of us to guess which surname was the most common in the whole USA: Brown, Jones, or Smith? At that time, "Smith" edged out Jones.

The teacher went on to predict that in 20 years, CA's most common surname would be "Garcia." THAT has always stuck with me.

"Where is Sessions? I though he was going to pull funding and arrest these mayors??

Sessions is too busy taking candy from old people dying in pain and laying low praying no one finds out what he knows about swamp deals

People forget Jim Robinson lives in CA, Trolls constantly lump everyone in California as lieral, but by county California is 80% republican, Gerrymandering has assured it as a liberal stronghold.

Here in Oregon, mandatory mail in ballots assure the liberal stranglehold, a conservative or even a republican will never again hold public office as long as there are mail in ballots, heck they can scan the envelope and tell what party its from

CA’s “Motor Voter” makes certain that everyone applying for or renewing their CA Drivers License gets registered to vote.

The politicians “claim” that illegals don’t get registered to vote, but that’s a lie and I know that for a fact because I’ve seen the Voter Cards of illegal aliens!

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Cloward-Piven strategy. “Encourage” illegals in the other states to move to Kali. The rest of the country gets another economic boost and Kali goes broke.

I really like how President Trump thinks.

[Crucial]

It has become obvious that California refuses to learn.

[Crucial]

Yup,

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

DO IT!

Let the California REDS AND DEMS fight MS 13 with Chocolate Lattes and Rainbow Flags.

[itsahoot]

Why don’t he just enforce the law. All those politicians, including the Governor are breaking current law. Carries big fine and jail for each offense and there are millions of offenses.
