White House Border Czar Tom Hohman said that he wants to “flood the zone” of sanctuary cities with immigration enforcement after making progress in Minnesota.
“The number of agents depends on the situation on the ground," he said in an interview with Face the Nation. "How many known criminal targets are out there, because we know we have a problem with sanctuary cities, because we know they’re releasing public safety threats to the public.”
It’s safer for everyone involved if sanctuary cities hold illegal aliens on detainers so ICE doesn’t have to send six or seven people to go hunt those criminals down, Homan said in the interview.
Hohman didn’t name any specific sanctuary cities, but the Department of Justice released a list of sanctuary cities, states, and counties. Sanctuary cities obstruct federal law enforcement from arresting illegal aliens, such as in Chicago and over 1,000 other cities nationwide, according to the Federation for Immigration Reform.
Homan said that he’s already removed over 1,000 immigration officers from Minnesota, but the agents who are investigating fraud and Leftists storming a church there will stay.
“There will be a small security force called RQs that will respond when our soldiers are out and get surrounded by agitators and things get out of control. They will remain for a short period of time just to make sure that the coordination, the agreements we have with state and local law enforcement stays in place and they respond to a public safety threat when needed.”
In a CNN interview, Hohman was asked if the partial federal government freeze would hinder immigration. He responded, saying "Not one bit."
Even Hillary Clinton agrees that the Left went too far with illegal immigration, Townhall reported.
“There’s a legitimate reason to have a debate about things like migration,” Clinton said at the conference. “It went too far. It’s been disruptive and destabilizing, and it needs to be fixed in a humane way, secure borders that don’t torture and kill people.”

Sanctuary cities - a concept that has lived beyond its time.
Oh, the original premise appeared to be a more considerate and humane “safety net” for the millions of relatively innocent illegal immigrants, but the blanket was extended to the worst of the worst as well, and this catering to the basest of instincts created a rapidly metastasizing cancer in the heart of these cities.
Now only radical surgery holds out any chance tor containment.
Just maybe try to keep it a secret as to which city ICE is hitting.
I think for that you would have to kill the electricity to NYC.
They need to send out decoys.
Oh hell yes, oh my, my,
listen to all those democrats cry,
Oh my, my, oh hell, yes
You got to put on that party dress
Violent Left-wing mobs will follow them around the country. And the media will say: “Look at that right-wing violence!”
Flood it with what? WNBA players?
I don’t want them to get rid of “Sanctuary” crap houses. When they try to confiscate our guns after the mid terms, those of us in gun sanctuaries will be able to dust every Feral bag of scabs the left throws at us.
Considering sanctuary cities are a magnet for illegals of all kind it makes sense but the left is too f’n stupid to realize how asinine their policies are.
Could you kind of explain this a little bit?
Excellent idea.
Agreed.
By definition, the Mayors and Governors are aiding and abetting criminals. Doesn’t that make them accomplices?
First off, these are the immigrants that have broken the law “just a little bit”, by border-hopping, but they were not necessarily involved in transporting illegal drugs or part of a human trafficking scheme. Some may have even engaged in gainful employment, and not sunk into illegal activities while here, or committed any kind of fraud to get government benefits. Oh, sometime or another, they shall have to be returned to their country of origin, but not with the urgency attached to felons or even petty crimes.
It’s probably best to spread the agents out.
In every city, every day, there might be an ICE agent to send you on your way.
