Trump Administration to Shift 500 ICE Agents to Assist Sanctuary City Arrests
The Epoch Times ^ | March 6, 2020 Updated: March 6, 2020 | ISABEL VAN BRUGEN

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is intensifying its operations in 10 sanctuary cities, deploying approximately 500 special agents to increase surveillance around the homes and workplaces of undocumented immigrants.

ICE has started its 24-hour-a-day surveillance operations as part of its enhanced arrest campaign. It has requested the transfer of hundreds of special highly-trained agents who typically work on long-term investigations involving human trafficking and dangerous criminals, the New York Times reported on March 5.

In the coming weeks, the additional officers have been instructed by officials to “flood the streets” and operate in unmarked cars to ramp up arrests in the sanctuary cities where local law enforcement agencies refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.

Boston, New York, Detroit, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, New Orleans, and Newark are among the cities refusing to assist with deportations, according to the New York Times.

The request comes after 100 officers and agents with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, including elite tactical BORTAC (Border Patrol Tactical Unit) agents, were temporarily redeployed last month to assist with the arrest operation and deport undocumented immigrants in the cities.

Sanctuary cities are locales that have enacted measures to prevent local officials from cooperating with federal immigration authorities like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). If an illegal alien is arrested or convicted of a crime and ICE requests custody of them, sanctuary policies can prevent law enforcement from honoring the request. Eight states and hundreds of cities across the United States are recognized as sanctuaries for illegal immigrants.

Can we start micro chipping them so we can know exactly where they are at? Hopefully not in the USA.

In reality we need 100 times that many agents to start making a dent in the 30 million illegal aliens currently present in the US.

50 highly trained agents in each of 10 places is a good start. They will obviously be going after the most dangerous folks first. God Bless Donald Trump!

Start arresting the local Demonic Party officials that refuse to adhere to the law and endanger the city and regional constituents, and I’m guessing the problem will solve itself.

Good! But of course you’ll have the liberal whiners cry about it. The difference between a puppy and a liberal is - a puppy quits whining when it grows up.

“Sanctuary cities have seceded from the union”

No, they are trying to set policy for the nation and ultimately control it.
