President Trump’s border advisor told reporters Thursday that federal authorities planned to increase immigration raids in Los Angeles and other so-called “sanctuary cities,” with Chicago likely the next target.
“You’re going to see a ramp up of operations in New York; you’re going to see a ramp up of operations continue in L.A., Portland, Seattle, all these sanctuary cities that refuse to work with ICE,” Tom Homan said.
Since June, Southern California has been ground zero of thousands of immigration arrests as well as legal battles over whether the raids violate the U.S. Constitution.
There is no agreed-upon definition for sanctuary policies or sanctuary cities, but the terms generally describe limited cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Homan did not elaborate on specifics about new raids in L.A.
But talking to reporters Thursday morning, he said Immigration and Customs Enforcement is considering using a naval base north of Chicago as its hub when potential enforcement raids take place in that city.
Tom Homan said, “there’s discussions about that, yes,” when asked by reporters outside the White House.
He didn’t provide an exact timeline for the use.
“The planning is still being discussed,” he said. “So, maybe by the end of today.”
Earlier this week, Trump said Chicago would likely be the next city in which he’ll direct a crackdown on crime and, in particular, illegal immigration.

Sounds good to me.
I can just imagine the Babylon Bee headlines for Lost Angeless:
“”Lost Angeless bureaucrats are seeking therapy and treatment after the authorities (police, fire, DEA, FBI, ICE) enforce the rule of law.””
“”Lost Angeless nonprofits are reeling from the end of the USAID money laundering. Some nonprofits are even having bake sales.””
“”Nonprofit bake sales in jeopardy due to incredibly slow Lost Angeless permitting process.””
And me.
Lots more ICE please!
Local cops. Can they help without being discovered? Feds give them throwaway phones and they report in.
Did we or did we not cut off welfare and SSN for these illegals?
I don’t think so. The Abrego Kid Bandito just shut down the U.S. Government. He and his fag lawyers won. Now we’ve got some skanky ho shutting down Alligator Alcatraz. Once they get the last heroic Illegal alien out, the border patrol should napalm the joint to keep the envirofags from taking it over.
People are renaming their home routers stuff like ICE_OP_007..
