NYT: ICE to ‘flood the streets’ of sanctuary cities

TheHill: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has begun 24-hour daily surveillance operations near the homes and workplaces of undocumented immigrants in sanctuary cities across the country, according to an exclusive New York Times report

A senior official with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told reporters in February that ICE would be deploying Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers to “enhance integrity of the immigration system, protect public safety, and strengthen our national security.”

The partnership was intended to assist ICE, which reportedly did not have enough resources to manage the increase in nondetailed cases increased by the rise of sanctuary jurisdictions. ICE reportedly requested approximately 500 special agents to assist in arrest efforts. 

These agents, who normally work to stop criminal operations like border smuggling and violence, are requested to help ICE law enforcement arrest and deport illegal immigrants residing in sanctuary cities to compensate for state law enforcement that won’t enforce federal immigration policy. The CBP agents will move from working on criminal offenses to civil infractions. more

  1. I hope they are deploying to this song:

    California, Here I Come (yeaaaaaah!)
    Right back where I started from
    where bowers of flowers
    bloom in the spring
    each morning at dawning
    birdies sing at everything
    a sunkissed miss said, “Don’t be late!”
    that’s why I can hardly wait (come on!)
    open up (open up! open up!) that golden gate
    California, Here I Come

  3. Each arrested illegal should get a “chip” implanted in their buttock for future reference and be deported. If convicted of a violent crime they should wake up next to a dusty road in Somalia and see a C130 flying away!
    ……….AND THAT’S my “LIBERAL” solution! “wife and kids fly free….

  4. Why am I not surprised that an unnamed source told the NYT that this was happening? And why am I not surprised that the NYT was quick to warn the illegal immigrants?
