ICE chief readies national sanctuary city crackdown
Quote:Empowered by a president who has "taken the handcuffs off of law enforcement," the nation's chief immigration official revealed Tuesday that deportation targets have surged and that he's planning to deploy more agents and resources to "sanctuary cities" to arrest illegal criminals.
Thomas D. Homan, acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said in an interview that since Trump entered office, illegal border crossings have crashed by almost 70 percent, "an historic low," arrests inside the country have jumped 40 percent and that demands for illegal criminals in local jails has skyrocketed 80 percent.
"You can like President Trump, not like him, like his policies, not like his policies, but one thing no one can argue with is the effect they've had," said Homan, the former chief ICE enforcement boss and a 30-year immigration agency veteran.
SO MUCH ******* WINNING!!!

I wish they'd arrest the people who were involved in making sanctuary cities -- council members, mayors, etc.
Wouldn't that be fun?

RE: ICE chief readies national sanctuary city crackdown
Trump won the nomination on a single issue: Build The Wall. That’s his signature issue and it’s the only reason he’s President today.
The purpose of a wall is to control immigration. There is no other country on the planet that accepts the level of illegal immigration that the United States accepts. We are the outlier in immigration lawlessness.

Yes, or even officials who advance legislation to do the same, as in the mayor of Nashville.

Let's start with NY's mayor... Mr. Despicable.

Meh. Law and order is not as important as secret dinner meeting conversations. [sarcasm]

We must enforce our laws.
I'd like to see this crackdown really take off.

We need to enact a law that "Anchor Babies" will not get rights as a citizen of the USA. The law would be coming here illegally just so that you give birth on US soil would be against the law.

You'd need a constitutional amendment.

Maybe. I don't think this issue has ever been addressed by the SCOTUS. A court challenge could be enough to make them clarify the intent of the Constitution. Either way...I fully support ending this. Allowing for duel citizenship was a courtesy and one that was not abused. It now has become a liability.

That for rank-and-file leftists. The leftists leadership sees those who take advantage of sanctuary as future voters for those leftists.

For effect I think ICE should break out the Imperial Stormtrooper costumes for this.
Put speakers on all of their official ICE vehicles and jam The Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme) when they roll into town.
