WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Trump administration is deploying highly trained officers to boost arrests of unauthorized immigrants in cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago and New York, the latest move in a battle against localities that adopt “sanctuary” policies to protect them from deportation. Members of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Border Patrol Tactical Unit will be among the officers deployed to cities to assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE. They will also be sent to San Francisco, Atlanta, Houston, Boston, New Orleans, Detroit and Newark, New Jersey, CBP spokesman Lawrence Payne said in a statement. The special CBP unit’s members undergo a “grueling” training program designed to “mirror aspects” of U.S. Special Operation Forces courses, according to details about the program published on the CBP website. The unit was launched in 1984 in response to rioting at immigration detention facilities.

So they had riots at immigration detention centers in 1984? The fake news tells us there weren’t any immigration problems before President Trump took office.

Wasn’t it the Cuban refugees Castro was sending us back in the 80s? I think Scarface depicted some of it with al Pacino .

Why “to send” and not “has sent”? I am tired of all talk and not reports of actions and results.

Can’t handle the desire to have actions and not talk? Or, using your words, your OK we’ll talk and no action?
