The Trump administration is deploying law enforcement tactical units from the southern border as part of a supercharged arrest operation in sanctuary cities across the country, an escalation in the president’s battle against localities that refuse to participate in immigration enforcement.
The specially trained officers are being sent to cities including Chicago and New York to boost the enforcement power of local ICE officers, according to two officials who are familiar with the secret operation. Additional agents are expected to be sent to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Houston, Boston, New Orleans, Detroit and Newark, N.J.
The move reflects President Trump’s persistence in cracking down on sanctuary cities, localities that have refused to cooperate in handing over immigrants targeted for deportation to federal authorities. It comes soon after the Justice Department and Department of Homeland Security announced a series of measures that will affect both American citizens and immigrants living in those places.
Lawrence Payne, a spokesman for Customs and Border Protection, confirmed the agency was deploying 100 officers to work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which conducts arrests in the interior of the country, “in order to enhance the integrity of the immigration system, protect public safety, and strengthen our national security.”
The deployment of the teams will run from February through May, according to an email sent to Customs and Border Protection personnel, which was read to The New York Times by one official familiar with the planning.
Among the agents being deployed to sanctuary cities are members of the elite tactical unit known as BORTAC, which acts essentially as the SWAT team of the Border Patrol.

This should be interesting. Either they go in, get the perps and end of story, or, there is major confrontation between them and local enforcement.
Let’s make certain that Houston is right at the top of this list.
here is major confrontation between them and local enforcement.
I hope not.
I suspect many donut shops there will be running BOGOs for LEOs.
not enough, we need about least 100000 ICE/HSI agents to increase and accelerate the removal of illegal aliens.
Unfortunately, it is likely that the criminal “rulers” of the “sanctuary” cities may make that the only option if the law is to be enforced.
I’ve had it. If spilled blood is the only to get some reasonable compliance with immigration law, then so be it.
Otherwise we are doomed. The left will never allow any middle ground or compromise.
Mr. President? More, Please!
HOORAY USCBP! Give the invaders maps to sanctuary houses of sanctuarians, their families and their friends. Invaders are owed nice places to live.
“If spilled blood is the only to get some reasonable compliance with immigration law, then so be it.”
I’m all for it. It is necessary.
