Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Acting Director Thomas Homan on Tuesday said he plans to further crack down on undocumented immigrants by sending more resources and agents to sanctuary cities.
Homan told Washington Examiner on Tuesday that he plans to address “ludicrous” sanctuary cities.
“In the America I grew up in, cities didn’t shield people who violated the law,” Homan told the publication. “What I want to get is a clear understanding from everybody, from the congressmen to the politicians to law enforcement to those who enter the country illegally, that ICE is open for business.”
“We’re going to enforce the laws on the books without apology, we’ll continue to prioritize what we do,” Homan continued. “But it’s not OK to violate the laws of this country anymore, you’re going to be held accountable.”

I sent a plan to the administration right after winning election. Keeping in mind that not all illegal immigrants are bad people and those who are good deserve a chance to make it right. So the plan calls for creation of a system called EXIT VISA. This i9s where an illegal person can apply for Exit VISA to depart the country peacefully with no bars to reenter legally after one year as an immigrant if qualified or as a visitor to visit family members or with a work visa if the employer and employee meet the guidelines. For visitors, a bond will be required before entry to ensure your return as a visitor. The Exit Visa will cost a fee raising revenue, and there will be a time frame for departure and must pay their own fare for departure. This plan will reduce the high cost of enforcement, enable good law abiding persons to not feel the bars and sanctions associated with deportation. it is humanitarian and let good people continue to be good and not face the stigma of deportation. The criminals will not get such treatment and should face the brunt of enforcement.
It’s about time the government finally took off the gloves and are allowing the ICE agents to finally do their work properly. Now that the Immigrations departments are actually arresting and deporting those who are illegally here it will definitely have an effect on those even thinking about coming here illegally. If they are no longer welcomed with open arms and handed free benefits the moment they arrive like free medical care, free education, and housing subsidies, just to name a few, they will know that without proper social security numbers and earned citizenship they will not be able to work here and thus they will starve. Hopefully ICE will not just concentrate on just our southern border but will also work on deporting even those spread out across our country. Last but not least the government needs to put a strong restriction on how many foreigners are allowed to apply to enter this country and bar all so called refugees from coming here.
IT IS LONG PAST TIME THAT CROOKED POLITICOS, CITY, STATE , & FEDERAL, WERE BEHIND BARS LOOKING OUT AT “WE THE PEOPLE”, INSTEAD OF LOOKING DOWN ON THEM / US.
WE NOW HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO DRAWS RESPECT, NOT FLIES. IT IS A SHAME THAT CONGRESS DID NOT ALSO GET REPLACED WHEN ALIEN OBUMMER LEFT THE OFFICE HE ONLY DISRESPECTED & USED FOR HIS OWN GAIN-: EVEN AS A CROOK WORKED TO DESTROY AMERICA-, CONGRESS SAT BY DOING NOTHING TO PROTECT CITIZENS THEY SWORE TO REPRESENT, OBEY, & PROTECT.
Thank you for this. You are absolutely correct.
It’s about time that the US federal government takes a page from television. In one of the first episodes of “Designated Survivor” the new President of the United States has the governor of a state arrested for subversion for violating a federal order. Any politician that votes to violate federal law (re: sanctuary city) regarding immigration (which is solely the authority of the US federal government) is guilty of subversion, which is classified the same as treason. Arrest those Democratic idiots, and let them try and talk their way out it….by the way you can’t!
I also read yesterday that Obama should have gone through Congress to create DACA, but, of course, the dictator with his pen and his phone decreed otherwise and the libs want to yell about made up treason about our legitimate president?!! Hopefully, they’ll rescind DACA, too.
CA has so many Sanctuary cities. Obama wasn’t deporting illegals, his goons in ICE were transporting them to Sanctuary cities. Now Brown wants to protect them. The most dangerous drug gang in the world is in these Sanctuary cities, but they go to other cities and do crime and back in hiding. At least now that Trump is in office and qualified people that know our immigration laws can act on the deporting. Brown is going down with the rest of Democrats. Lots of voting fraud in CA. Our Law Enforcement under Obama would book the illegal criminals, and illegals. They turned over to BP.. BP booked them and turned over to ICE And they didn’t book them. They were transported by bus to Sanctuary cities. Three Middle Eastern men apprehended at water dam. Visas were fraud. Booked by LE and BP but don’t know what happened to them after ICE took them. The Orlando terrors was a bus driver for the company transporting illegals. He was taken off watch list 2 months before shooting. Thank God for Trump.
Amazing ICE is doing the job they are suppose to do. For almost 8 years the illegal criminals have been safe in democrat run cities causing murders, rapes, robberies and causing financial harm on the tax payers and if you live in California the taxes keep going up and the illegals are better protected than citizens. If a ctizen kills a person they are thrown in jail, if an illegals a person San Francisco blames it on the dead person. Take a look at all large cities they screw there citizens by giving them poorly run schools, they do not protect there citizens from criminals and all of them are run by democrats who keep in power by lying to there citizens.
They also stay in power with those illegal votes. I hear people saying they can’t vote because it’s illegal. They came here illegally. What’s a little voting law? What’s any law got to do with it?
