Empowered by a president who has "taken the handcuffs off of law enforcement," the nation's chief immigration official revealed Tuesday that deportation targets have surged and that he's planning to deploy more agents and resources to "sanctuary cities" to arrest illegal criminals.
Thomas D. Homan, acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said in an interview that since Trump entered office, illegal border crossings have crashed by almost 70 percent, "an historic low," arrests inside the country have jumped 40 percent and that demands for illegal criminals in local jails has skyrocketed 80 percent.
"You can like President Trump, not like him, like his policies, not like his policies, but one thing no one can argue with is the effect they've had," said Homan, the former chief ICE enforcement boss and a 30-year immigration agency veteran.
He said that the change in immigration enforcement has been radical and welcome under Trump. "You'd think everybody would be celebrating these policies," he said during the 45-minute interview in his office.
One group he says are cheering: Border Patrol and ICE agents. "Now they have meaning to their jobs," said Homan. "What this president has done is taken the handcuffs off of law enforcement officers who are charged with enforcing immigration laws," he added.

ICE: less talk, more action pls.
ICE, ICE, baby!
Personally, I prefer Criminal Aliens, but Illegal Criminals is almost as good. A step in the right direction of correct identification.
The people who write the AP Style Book are prolly having vapors :)
Let’s hear from the mopes who complain he isn’t doing anything significant about Illegalism.
I think it’s great that these rat mayors are herding the illegals to their cities for easier round up.
What are your credentials to make such a statement?
Sounds like keyboard bravado to me.
Excellent point.
Another big Trump win. The karma of enforcing the law in these lawless cities is priceless.
A sanctuary city is a target-rich environment for ICE.
They're not talking about Raul the roofer, or Manuela the maid. Fox News doesn't have that kind of courage.
