Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas suggested he will further gut a law enforcement program that helps keep criminal illegal aliens from being released into American communities.
In a committee hearing with House lawmakers on Wednesday, Mayorkas suggested that he will take more action against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) 287(g) program that allows local police to partner with ICE agents to keep criminal illegal aliens off the streets.
“I’m certainly aware of some of the abuses of the 287(g) program and I believe that I brought an example of that abuse to an end recently,” Mayorkas said, adding:
I am engaging with the men and women of ICE in the development of Secretary’s enforcement guidelines. And once we have done that, I do intend to continue my dialogue with sheriffs and chiefs of police … to see how we can most effectively partner in the service of … smart and effective law enforcement.
Mayorkas also claimed that ICE’s 287(g) program has a history of “pernicious practices” but did not give examples or elaborate on the remark.
The statements indicate that President Joe Biden’s administration is looking to expand their “sanctuary country” orders — whereby ICE agents are barred from arresting and deporting most illegal aliens — to limit the scope at which local law enforcement agencies can utilize the 287(g) program.

WHY is this not TREASON?
A foreign born illegal alien as DHS and border patrol head. Never trust a cube.
Foreign born, but he and his parents did come here legally not long after Castro took power.
What I find objectionable is his shameless playing of his “Latino” card when the fact is that both his parents were 100% European Jews. He has less Latino blood than Liz Warren has Injun.
