White House proposed releasing immigrant detainees in sanctuary cities, targeting political foes

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.

Drop them off in Hawaii. Deny them access to air travel.

It’s not any busses.
Martha’s vineyard has a dock that can handle cruise ships.
I am thinking troop transports, and close the port to other traffic.

Think of it as doing the amphibious landings the swamp doesn’t want them to do.

Releasing immigrant detainees in sanctuary cities is a capital idea let them see what so called fake looks like.

That’s the tactic obama used - dumping Muslims and others in small red state communities.

They want it until it really happens!

The Communist media is panicking over this. Sounds like President Trump really COULD do this. It would be for the best, keeping illegals in those cities, and the liberals could pay for all their resources. That would reduce illegal alien crimes and be less of a financial strain for the rest of the country. If we can’t send them back, this really does sound like the best solution, plus the problem would be where it belongs—right in the liberals’ backyards.

I do, though, feel sorry for any conservatives stuck in those leftist hellholes, as a former New Jerseyan.

My solution is to charter a plane capable of at least 300 passengers and loading it with illegals. The plane would be flown to a sanctuary air port where the passengers would be discharged on the ramp.

Repest, repeat.

No notice given
