ICE director signals 'at-large arrests' over new California sanctuary law

The country's top immigration cop said Friday his agents "will have no choice" but to conduct workplace and neighborhood immigration raids in light of California's new sanctuary law.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Acting Director Thomas Homan said in a statement Friday that California Gov. Jerry Brown's (D) decision to sign the law, SB54, would "undermine public safety and hinder ICE from performing its federally mandated mission."

"ICE will have no choice but to conduct at-large arrests in local neighborhoods and at work sites, which will inevitably result in additional collateral arrests, instead of focusing on arrests at jails and prisons where transfers are safer for ICE officers and the community," Homan warned.

Homan also warned that under SB54, ICE would "likely have to detain individuals arrested in California in detention facilities outside of the state, far from any family they may have in California."

If California officials interfere, arrest them

I look forward to Holder leading the way trying to block Federal enforcement of law.

Please lead him away.

Eric Holder, please resist arrest. AND HUSSEIN, a supposed lawyer, can represent him as he leads the way to his disbarment and eventual arrest. The Clintons have already been stripped of their law licenses, haven't they? (Bill definitely, but Hillary might still send her check into a bar somewhere,,,,,,). How far will the RAT criminals go? I hope it winds up leading them to jail for a very long time.

Liberals should endorse enforcement of federal law. Otherwise, states being able to opt out of laws they don’t like mean Texas could opt out of any gun control laws its people doesn’t like, conservative states could decide to ignore any LBGT demands written up as human rights rules.
