Sanctuary jurisdictions are going to be getting a lot of visitors, with Customs and Border Control agents helping ICE enforce federal law
ICE plans to deploy more resources in sanctuary cities
Federal immigration officials confirmed Friday that border agents and officers, including those in tactical units, will be deployed in Los Angeles and other so-called sanctuary cities to assist in the arrests of immigrants in the country illegally.
A U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman confirmed details of the planned deployment that were first reported in the New York Times. The agency referred further questions to Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security.
CBP will deploy 50 Border Patrol agents and 50 field operations customs officers in nine areas, according to the agency. Specially trained officers will be sent to cities including Chicago and New York, the New York Times reported.
Additional agents are expected to be sent to San Francisco, Atlanta, Boston, New Orleans, Detroit and Newark, N.J., according to the agency. The deployment of the teams will run from February through May.
CBP agents and officers being detailed to help ICE will come from different sectors and job positions, including some trained in tactical operations, according to the agency.“ICE is utilizing CBP to supplement enforcement activity in response to the resource challenges stemming from sanctuary city policies,†ICE Director Matthew Albence said in a statement.
On one hand, this is great. Sanctuary jurisdictions need to be held responsible for sheltering illegal aliens, and illegals are more likely to be in sanctuary jurisdictions. On the other, CPB should be doing the stuff on protecting the border and inspecting incoming shipments, not arresting illegals. But, we’ll have to see how long this operation lasts. It could be a quick couple weeks with a massive roundup. They should arrest law enforcement officials and politicians who shelter and protect illegals. Sadly, that probably won’t happen.
Meanwhile, in San Diego county
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement took the rare step of serving four administrative subpoenas Friday to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department for information on four Mexican nationals wanted for deportation.
The immigration subpoenas are the first of their kind in California, though they’re just the latest deployment of a new, month-old Trump administration tactic aimed at so-called sanctuary cities and states.
ICE, the Department of Homeland Security agency responsible for arresting and deporting people in the U.S. illegally, used the subpoenas Jan. 15 in Denver for what was believed to be the first time. The agency subsequently used them in New York and on Thursday in Connecticut.
According to an ICE spokeswoman, the subpoenas are not court-ordered or signed by a judge. But if the Sheriff’s Department does not comply, ICE said it can coordinate with federal prosecutors to seek an order from a federal judge that would compel the Sheriff’s Department to comply.
ICE is taking these steps because sanctuary jurisdictions refuse to comply with detainers on criminal illegal aliens who shouldn’t be in the U.S. I still say they should get actual court ordered orders, ones which would see law enforcement and politicians arrested for non-compliance
Bernie is mad at AOC. She was calling for the abolition of CBP or Customs and Border Patrol during her speeches while Bernie was tied up in impeachment.
Why did the Republicans hurry the impeachment? For the same reason, the Democrats did.
The impeachment was meant by democrats to tie up Warren and Sanders in a long and protracted trial. It is why the Democrats demanded more witnesses so they could keep their resident kooks off the campaign trail.
The GOP, on the other hand, saw through their plans immediately and with the exception of the totally clueless and self-absorbed Mitt Romney, they voted to get this trial over ASAP. They wanted Bernie and Warren back on the campaign trail.
Bernie is now mad at AOC for trashing CBP and ICE in ways Bernie never wanted. Secondly, he is now walking back Medicare for all because UNIONS are pushing back hard against him on this because despite most people, unions still have good health insurance and it is a bargaining chip they get to use during CBA.
Bernie cannot and will not be able to pay for anything he wants to do. Secondly, all he wants to do will have to be through legislation and not Executive orders. There is no way anything he wants will be passed as Democrats and Republicans alike will vote against a 6 trillion dollar a year increase in an already 5 trillion dollar budget.
He wants to tax billionaires. Well good for him. He can take all their wealth every year and not come remotely or even in the ballpark close to paying for any of his pipe dreams promised to socialist young people who worship the ground he walks on.
The scenario: Bernie wins, Moderate and establishment Democrats vote for Trump or stay home. Someone else wins and the Bernie supporters vote for Trump or stay home. Many are predicting a Brokered convention, but I would caution that no matter who the Democrats put on the ticket they will still be a formidable challenge for Trump and the GOP.
Are you old enough to benefit from Medicare?
John are you old enough to have a job and pay taxes?
Trump is doing nothing for America and it is still costing us $1 trillion a year on the country credit card.
Could we at least get better health care or infrastructure? Seems a waste to just give money to corporations and the rich and get nothing for it.
At least Trump gets to play golf every week on us taxpayers. Just think, if Trump paid for own golf outings our debt would be some $100,000,000 less!
Conspiracy upon conspiracy!
Anyway, a Sanders Presidency would be the end of the tRump “presidency”, so that’s a good thing, even if Congress won’t go along with his prescriptions. Certainly, President Sanders wouldn’t sign any tax cuts for the rich and corporations. A new Congress could stabilize the ACA and approve a public option to pressure the insurance markets.
Even tRump’s “skinny” budget of $4.7 trillion leaves a $1.1 trillion deficit. A $1.1 trillion deficit with no major wars/invasions, no extra expenditures to combat a recession and the economy humming along? That makes no sense, does it? Shouldn’t we be saving for a rainy day? But this is part of the Con long plan to finally eat away at Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. We have to go where the money is – healthcare and SS! Tax cuts for the rich and corporations, pay cuts for the poor and old folks! Brilliant!
When will those tax cuts start paying for themselves as promised? When will we see the promised “… 4, 5, maybe even 6% growth”? 2017 (2.4%), 2018 (2.9%), 2019 (2.3%). How’s that trade war working out for ya’? Wai’til next year!
For 2019 GDP growth was 2.3%, which is down from 2.9% in 2018 and just below 2.4% in 2017, Trump’s first year in office.
When the next recession comes we will have little monetary leverage so we’ll have to use fiscal stimulus or live with the recession. If tRump gets re-elected it will occur under his watch. If he doesn’t trump can blame the Dems from his prison cell for ruining his economy. If the next recession is equivalent to the Great Recession we’ll be in deep doo doo indeed. Oh well, live it up while we can! At least global warming is a hoax.

Teach since you are always saying climate activists should walk the walk, why have you never made the decision to work for ICE ?
Isn’t it a bit hypocritical for chastising others for not living a 100% life of how they day others should act but fail then fail to do themselves ?
Teach why did you choose to neither fight the evil of Islamic terrorism nor join ICE a to j JJ eep our borders safe ?
John Why haven’t you stopped driving a car, Using Airconditioning. Why do you continue to use a phone or computer to post on the internet which is driven by fossil fuels and made with rare earths dug out of the ground with massive co2 spewing earth moving equipment???
John why havent you stopped eating food? almost all food is planted and harvested and transported to markets with Massive amounts of co2. The ground is then churned up and expells even more co2 while the plants themselves also produce methane.
WHY oh WHY JOHN????
Trump’s golfing costs are up to 138 million about 6x as high as Obama’s golfing costs
Teach why is it ok for a white POTUS to spend so much more than a black POTUS without being constantly criticized by you for wasting taxpayers money ???
John why is it that you have to bring race into a question like that?
Teach favors tRump sending federal agents (Stasi?, SAVAK?, Gestapo?) into US states to arrest and jail political opponents. Nothing about that screams, Tyrant!.
Teach: They should arrest law enforcement officials and politicians who shelter and protect illegals
Maybe America should arrest a “president” who bribes foreigners and girlfriends, and obstructs justice. But America will have to wait until this “president” is no longer protected by his title. Then you’ll experience how quickly this “president” turns on you.
Sometimes we must send in the troops to enforce the rule of law. We did it to stop you guys in your last attempt at overthrowing the government to keep your slaves. We did it when you racists refused to desegregate. We did it during the bonus riots too.
Once again you allow your burning hate to rule your brain. Sad.
