"In the Philadelphia area, ICE arrested several at large criminal aliens in which the agency had issued detainers but the City of Philadelphia failed to honor them and released the individuals from custody — a situation that puts the public at unnecessary risk. ICE will continue to conduct targeted enforcement operations, whether local jurisdictions intend to cooperate with ICE or not," said Ritchey.

Clever. Hit the santuary cities and states because they are illegal alien magnets. Let it be known you can run but you can’t hide, You will get busted.

[goodnesswins]

What about sanctuary states? Like ours...aagghhh

[Original Lurker]

That would be a logistical nightmare given dollars to
donuts they’re collecting checks under different names.

PING

President Trump should announce that every Sanctuary City will be getting a nice, new ICE Office, fully funded, staffed and ready to go.

[HotHunt]

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that if these cities declare themselves "sanctuary" cities to shield and protect illegals from the consequences of their illegal actions, that the very best place for ICE agents to go to locate and roundup illegals is in these cities where they congregate.

Like catching fish in a bucket.

“They should prioritize sanctuary cities until these arrogant mayors get a clue.”

They should also go after employers who have large numbers of illegals working for them, like Tyson.

[Mr.Unique]

Any mayor or police chief who orders LEOs to circumvent the law should be arrested for obstruction of justice.

We'd have very few Chiefs left.

Yes, until employment and benefits are cut off we will not see the large scale self removals that we need to significantly reduce the illegal alien population.

[Rannug]

Thank you. I appreciate the written word, its proper useage, correct spelling, and its correct placement in a sentence.

[tumblindice]

These arrests have a multiplier effect.
So would suspending federal assistance to the Philadelphia police department.

[Not A Snowbird]

Absolutely. Kill the jobs and they will self deport.

[Seattle Conservative]

The illegals names should be checked against the voting rolls and the welfare and other benefits databases in the cities and promptly removed. Potential other crimes.
