White House proposed releasing immigrant detainees in sanctuary cities, targeting political foes
Chicago Tribune ^ | 4/11/19 | Rachael Bade, Nick Miroff

White House officials have tried to pressure U.S. immigration authorities to release detainees onto the streets of "sanctuary cities" to retaliate against President Donald Trump's political adversaries, according to Department of Homeland Security officials and email messages reviewed by The Washington Post.

Trump administration officials have proposed transporting detained immigrants to sanctuary cities at least twice in the past six months - once in November, as a migrant caravan approached the U.S. southern border, and again in February, amid a standoff with Democrats over funding for Trump's border wall.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's district in San Francisco was among those the White House wanted to target, according to DHS officials. The administration also considered releasing detainees in other Democratic strongholds.

Just thought that was a good method of expressing how Trump should treat the Libs, give them a measure of their own back in Spades!

Thank you for reminding us about the The Obama Administration deliberate program of sending illegals waiting for court dates to rural counties that are struggling to care for their own.

Some lawyers at ICE said it was fine and DHS enforced Obama’s wishes.

I do not think it extreme that President Trump should have a plan that makes sense.

I think any self-declared sanctuary city should be a destination for all those who are overwhelming our border cities and states. They claim to be so concerned about people, let them share their generosity with those they claim to support (from a distance).

All those lawbreakers should be TATOOED on back of hand with something that lasts for a year immediately upon arrival anywhere! That will be of GREAT help later on.....during their paid vacation on the USA !

Why would this be retaliation? Isn’t this what the sanctuary crowd wants?

Hell nobama did it throughout the south and rural areas in the country and has hosed up and cause many otherwise safe communities to now begin to suffer with out of touch immigrants who then solicit others (illegals) and all things began to get F’ed up and on and on down hill...he did that to punish the red states and conservatives...he / they looked at the demographics, can tell you that for sure...so what goes round comes round...and now that’s a prob?

Feel sorry for some of those folks place in those spots as they didn’t know sh*t what or where the hell they were, didn’t fit in and actually didn’t even want to be here truth be known in many cases, especially the children!

It is only logical and right. Sanctuary cities are nothing other than a local political claim that the illegal migrants are O.K. to be illegal if they want. Therefor, why shouldn’t that kind of “acceptance” be “rewarded” with all the new illegals who come. They wanted it, they accept it, so they deserve it.

>>Dump a couple hundred or so off in front of the vineyard that Pelosi owns. See how she likes it.

It has been done, albeit with smaller numbers.

This is a great idea. Millions of people across the “hinterlands” and fly-over country are in favor of it. Many thousands should be flown to Hawaii, too. Their Senator loves them!

I’ve been advocating this for months. Bus them all to Silicon Valley, San Francisco, Marin, Sonoma, and Napa Counties, Chicago, K Street in DC, Austin TX, and just for grins Martha’s Vineyard. (Yes I know you have to take a ferry to MV.)

Let’s see how they like these poor huddle masses living in their neighborhoods.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

don’t forget to ship a few bus loads of fresh migrants to the epicenter of the swamp in Washington DC every day!

Send illegals to Martha's Vineyard... or Chappaqua...

Whatever it costs to build housing for them in those two areas in fine with Americans.

Let the damn 'elites' deal with reality for a while... maybe then they'll get off their butts and start defending THIS nation.

What a complete BS story.

Sanctuary cities receive federal funds to take illegals. That’s their job.

What is wrong with “journalists”????

YES! YES YES YES YES YES!!!!

Turn them loose in Hollywood. In Beverly Hills. In Nancy’s neighborhood in San Fran. In Georgetown. On the Upper East Side. In Beacon Hill. In Chappaqua.

Make the idiots who are pushing these policies feel our pain.

It would be the COMPASSIONATE thing to do. Send them where it’s proven they’re wanted. That way we’ll be protecting them from racism and (whatever)phobia.
