Feds planning massive Northern California immigration sweep to strike against sanctuary laws
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | Updated 7:04 am, Wednesday, January 17, 2018 | Hamed Aleaziz

U.S. immigration officials have begun preparing for a major sweep in San Francisco and other Northern California cities in which federal officers would look to arrest more than 1,500 undocumented people while sending a message that immigration policy will be enforced in the sanctuary state, according to a source familiar with the operation.

Officials at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE, declined to comment Tuesday on plans for the operation.

The campaign, centered in the Bay Area, could happen within weeks, and is expected to become the biggest enforcement action of its kind under President Trump, said the source, who requested anonymity because the plans have not been made public.

Trump has expressed frustration that sanctuary laws — which seek to protect immigrants and persuade them not to live in the shadows by restricting cooperation between local and federal authorities — get in the way of his goal of tightening immigration.

The operation would go after people who have been identified as targets for deportation, including those who have been served with final deportation orders and those with criminal histories, the source said. The number could tick up if officers come across other undocumented immigrants in the course of their actions and make what are known as collateral arrests.

This issue could be solved real quickly. Just follow the law as it was intended. After they catch the illegal Alien then the next step is to arrest anyone who was harboring them. The effect of that would change things rather dramatically.

It is absolutely obstruction of justice and aiding and abetting and it is about to come to a thunderous end. I am just giddy.

Cross check against SSN numbers in IRS records. The same guy can’t be working at 60 different businesses.

Perceptions matter. I doubt this sweep will pick up all that many criminals. It’s about making the criminals nervous and getting them to kick themselves out. All for the cost of a press release or email.

If they only picked up ten people total from three different localities, it would still send shock waves across the illegal alien community.

Then you announce them in other communities and only do raids at part of the places.

Attendance at work locations would plummet. Employers worried about fines and employees not showing, would make some changes.

I agree with your take on it.

For the first time since the 1980s, we have a President that effectively uses messaging to achieve something worthwhile.

I wish more conservatives (and Christians) understood the basics of messaging and how perceptions are often as important or even more important than the underlying reality.

Here’s to hoping that they round up the traitorous officials and enablers first.
Remove the incentives to stick around make the aliens self deport then, round up those that don’t. IMO
