An official from the nation’s largest sheriff’s department vowed this week to “physically remove” ICE agents from its county jails.
Speaking at a Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, Sheriff Alex Villanueva from the Los Angeles County sheriff’s office said he eliminate the presence of federal immigration agents from the city’s county jails.
“We are going to physically remove ICE from the county jails," Villanueva told the board, using the acronym for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The question is whether ICE agents have the authority under federal law to be inside a state facility without invitation from the state authority? If the answer is “no”, this sheriff is blowing smoke to seem tough and anti-Trump.
If ICE agents are outside the jail in a public place and place a person under arrest upon their release, it seems that the sheriff may not interfere with the carrying out of their lawful duties. It seems any physical interference by the sheriff in the lawful actions of the federal agents would subject the sheriff to federal charges. Usually different agencies respect the jurisdiction of the other.
The leftist game is no wall to keep them out, no federal action to prosecute illegal entry once they are in. This is beyond irony because for decades the left has been trying to federalize everything because local officials historically have stereotyped by them as backwards, prejudice bigots who selectively target people. They have used many federal judges to go after local authorities and impose their will on states. The left didn’t have this federal problem with BHO, who selectively and tepidly enforced immigration laws. Now they are using local control as a way to further their agenda, until they get back the reins of federal power - and then don’t expect them to play nice and respect local control that doesn’t fit their politics. Seems like it comes directly from the communist playbook. If they hate this country so much, we don’t have to let them destroy it; they don’t own this country, despite what they think. I wish more in the GOPe would see the big picture, instead of jockeying for position at some politician’s funeral.
I think all deputies should walk out! (If they really believe in the rule of law)
Fine reminder.
Remove the agents.....and all Federal funding to The People’s Republic of Kommiefornia. Simple .
“Tell us again how the illegals just come here to work in our agricultural fields.”
Tell us again how many illegals want to renounce the values and citizenship of their motherland and give all to fight and die for America? The rise of illegal immigration is a result of the rise and growth of the welfare state.
Civil wars have been fought for less.
15% are illegal aliens. Cal is home to a lot of sweatshops in many ethnic communities.
When illegals cross from Mexico to California, how do they know they have left Mexico?
good ......and let California fall more quickly into the abyss. California deserves all it gets.
Is that how you "feel" about it or can you back that feeling up with some fact?
Amen.
That's right.
Cut out the gravy train and illegal immigration will dry up pretty quickly.
I hope you are correct.
If he tries, US Marshalls should be me there to arrest him.
If they try to stop them. Declare California in rebellion against the Federal government and send in troops to maintain martial law.
Feds should go through their detention records and compare those names to the county’s list of registered voters. Charge them with contributing to voter fraud if illegals voted.
Problem: Those serving a warrant can go anywhere they need to get their man, including some Podunk sheriff’s jail. Any deputy dog interfering can be arrested.
“Wonder where they are getting all that money. “
Borrowing it from the Rothschilds.
Physical= incarcerated sherff
“Guess he never heard of Athens, TENNESSEE 1947.”
And who’s going to storm the jail Mexican’s? Right after they pick up their enhanced SNAP card.
Federal agents should arrest this POS Villaneuva and throw his worthless a$$ in a jail cell in a federal holding facility.
