Tom Homan: ICE to Prioritize Enforcement in Sanctuary Cities

ICE Enforcement Strategy

• 🎯 Sanctuary cities are being made a priority for enforcement actions by ICE.
• ⚠️ This focus is due to the known issue of these cities releasing individuals who pose a public safety threat.
• ⚡ Resources will be redirected from areas without sanctuary policies, like parts of Texas and Florida, to areas with known problems.

"Flood the Zone" Approach

• 🌊 ICE plans to "flood the zone" in sanctuary cities with a record number of agents in neighborhoods and at worksites.
• 🔍 If criminal aliens are not handed over by local jails, agents will actively seek them out in neighborhoods or at their places of employment.
• 🚨 The goal is to perform the job of identifying and apprehending individuals who are in the country illegally.

Consequences of Sanctuary Policies

• ⛓️ The increased presence of agents is expected to lead to more collateral arrests.
• 👥 This means that not only the targeted individual but also anyone found with them who is also in the country illegally will be apprehended, regardless of criminal status.
• ✅ This strategy aligns with a commitment to enforce immigration laws and address public safety concerns stemming from sanctuary city policies.
