On Friday more operations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement were announced and good results keep coming.

The operation is targeting sanctuary cities and ICE agents took one hundred seventy-six people into custody.

Operation Rise took people located in Philadelphia, Denver, New York, Washington, Baltimore and Seattle into custody.

At a news conference in Philadelphia, acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Chad Wolf said, “Operation Rise is proof-positive that we will never back down from enforcing the rule of law, with or without the cooperation of local political leaders.”

A staggering number of around one hundred and forty of those detained have criminal records or pending charges.

Wolf told of an example of a 33 year old Brazilian citizen in Philadelphia whose has a rap sheet that includes aggravated assault, possession of an instrument of crime, terroristic threats, simple assault and reckless endangerment.

Philadelphia police ignored a detainee request in September that  eventually led to his release back into the community.

Wolf said, “This person is now in ICE custody, where he will remain pending removal proceedings.”

There was a similar operation that ICE conducted in California last week. That operation led to more than 125 illegal immigrants with criminal backgrounds being detained.

With elections just around the corner, Wolf was adamant that elections had not prompted ICE’s operations.

Wolf made a strong comment where he said, “Operation Rise, again, has nothing to do with politics, elections, Democrats, Republicans or anything of the like. We are targeting jurisdictions that have sanctuary policies.”

Please understand that ICE has a very difficult job when it comes to sanctuary cities. These cities do not want illegal immigrants detained even if they have committed horrendous crimes.

Come to think about it, some cities don’t even want illegal’s with or without criminal records to be removed.

Why is that? Do they have more compassion for non-citizens than Americans? I can answer that. If you have plans to vote for President Trump, you don’t matter to the leaders in control of sanctuary cities.

Priorities must change and that change comes with your vote for Trump and those who in leadership who are on the same page as our President.

Stay free, stay safe, vote TRUMP 2020!

Ice Making Arrests in Sanctuary Cities

On Tuesday the Department of Homeland Security, in a five day operation in California, said that they had detained 128 illegal immigrants.

Out of those detained officials said 96 percent of those arrested had convictions or had pending charges for crimes including homicide, sexual assault, sexual offenses against children, weapons offenses and domestic violence.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement, also known as ICE, conducted Operation Rise between September 28th and October 2nd in the Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco areas.

Sanctuary cities were targeted because local law enforcement are restricted in their ability to cooperate with federal law enforcement.

They basically ignore ICE demands and do not inform them when an illegal immigrant is about to be released.

An example was given by Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf.

A 40 year old man from El Salvador was convicted of first-degree murder in 2009 and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. In August a  detainer was issued by ICE but it was ignored by the Los Angeles County jail. The illegal immigrant was released into the community.

Thankfully, that man was arrested in last week’s operation.

Wolf is angry at politicians who have enacted or continue to enforce “sanctuary city” policies. He said this puts politics over public safety.

He said, “Instead of fulfilling our shared mission to protect our communities they would rather play politics with the law by enacting so-called sanctuary city policies to the detriment of our country’s safety.”

Wolf disagreed with the claim that these sort of policies are compassionate.

He went on to say, “There is no compassion for the Americans whose lives have been ended or destroyed by these policies, which shield violent criminal aliens at the expense of American lives.”

Wolf warned sanctuary jurisdictions that the Trump administration would continue to target such areas.

Wolf said, “Our obligation to protect American citizens from illegal aliens who rape, murder and otherwise commit violent crimes against our communities does not stop at the borders of a so-called sanctuary city.”

We’ve all seen or heard of these situations. An illegal immigrant commits more crimes and even worse, takes the life of an American.

The Trump administration has opposed sanctuary policies. They have tried to defund these cities.

Sources have alleged that operations were being planned in Denver and Philadelphia. They may also include other cities and jurisdictions across the country.

Just last month, Ice said that it arrested more than 2,000 illegal immigrants from 20 countries. This was done in a series of operations in July and August. The vast majority of those arrested had criminal charges or convictions.

In those operations, which lasted from July 13th through August 20th, it was reported that about 85 percent of the immigrants caught had pending or criminal convictions. They were not just petty crimes. The crimes ranged from manslaughter, assault, domestic violence, extortion, robbery, sexual offenses with a minor and other crimes.

Sanctuary cities, in my opinion, should be defunded sooner than later. Too many Americans suffer from the crimes of those in this country illegally.

President Trump must keep building the wall and deport those who are here illegally.

May I remind you to vote in person and vote RED down the line? I’m pretty sure that my readers will be doing what I’ll be doing on November 3rd, which is re-electing Trump!

When Did ICE Raids Begin?

Raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that were scheduled to begin on Sunday may have begun on Saturday in New York City.

The ICE raids in New York City took place in parts of Brooklyn and Manhattan late on Saturday and continued into the wee hours of Sunday morning according to New York’s Mayor Bill de Blasio.

The Democratic mayor is against the raids and inevitable deportations or imprisonment has said his city would not cooperate with ICE.

The mayor took to Twitter and tweeted this:

The ‘fake news’ media may have been citing the story as “raids on undocumented immigrants” but ICE has other ideas about their intentions. They have been firm in that their intentions are to target those already known to be criminals with criminal arrest records or have been put on a list as having not reported for hearings that were set in place.

Illegal immigrants are being coached on their rights, including instructions not to respond if agents knock on the door unless shown a warrant signed by a judge.

Illegal immigrants in major cities all over the U.S. are being coached on how to respond.

Here is a video from XPIX CBS San Fransico Bay Area:

The acting of Customs and Border Protection, Mark Morgan said, “This is about the rule of law,” Morgan said. “Those individuals who remain here illegally, especially those who’ve received due process more than any other nation in the world would provide someone that came here illegally, to including those with final orders, that there are consequences to those that remain here illegally. That’s what today is about. ”

Ten cities are being targeted but authorities will go where their investigations lead, even if it’s five states away from where the case is filed.

President Trump said, “It starts on Sunday and they’re going to take people out and they’re going to bring them back to their countries or they’re going to take criminals out, put them in prison, or put them in prison in the countries they came from.”

Administration officials have said they are targeting about 2,000 people, which would yield about 200 arrests based on previous crackdowns.

Trump has said on Twitter that his agents plan to arrest millions of immigrants in the country illegally.

Here is what Trump tweeted about the raids:

My own views tend to fall on the side of our president and ICE. Illegal means what it says; it is against the law.

If a person is not guilty of breaking the law of the land, they have nothing to fear from those enforcing the law. On the other hand, there are quite a few people living in this country, who are worried.

 

ICE Operation to Deport Illegal Migrants to be Delayed

On Saturday President Trump gave a clear warning to illegal immigrants. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will be doing their job and apprehending migrants who are here illegally and they will be sending them home.

Needless to say, Democratic politicians were opposed to this.

Trump was not hiding his intentions. “They will be removed as fast as they come,” Trump said.

Trump took to Twitter today and tweeted this today:

While outside the White House on his way to travel to Camp David Trump said that “everybody who came into the country illegally will be brought out of the country very legally.”

It has been reported by The Washington Post that ICE is expected to target 2,000 families in up to 10 cities, including Chicago, New York, Houston and Los Angeles.

Earlier this week, Trump stated that ICE will “begin the process of removing millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States.”

ICE did put out a statement on Friday. They said that “due to law-enforcement sensitivities and the safety and security of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel, the agency will not offer specific details related to enforcement operations.”

ICE spokeswoman Carol Danko declined to discuss the operation but she did say that “as a law enforcement agency, ICE’s mission is to uphold the rule of law; operations targeting violators of immigration laws are not only standard practice, but within the statutory authority prescribed by Congress.”

ICE prioritizes arresting and removing illegal immigrants “who pose a threat to national security, public safety and border security.”

The statement from ICE also says, “In fact, 90 percent of aliens arrested by ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations component in FY2018 had either a criminal conviction(s), pending criminal charge(s), were an ICE fugitive, or illegally re-entered the country after previously being removed.”

The Miami Herald reported:

“Miami will be one of the first cities where U.S. immigration authorities will target people for deportation as early as this Sunday, according to sources who were briefed on the enforcement action.

Immigration agents will target Miami, Atlanta, Chicago, Baltimore, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, New Orleans, New York City, and San Francisco this weekend, sources from congressional offices and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement told the Miami Herald.”

ICE, apparently, has been getting ready for this operation for some time now. Allegedly, ICE will start the operation on Sunday and then continue.

Of course, Democratic local officials are calling to abolish ICE. Many are opposing the operation and not planning to assist ICE agents.

In one case, the Mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot, made it very clear that CPD has terminated ICE’s access to CPD’s databases related to federal immigration enforcement activities.

Mayor Muriel Bowser of Washington, D.C. made sure to announce that the city “remains a proud sanctuary city, and we are committed to protecting the rights of all our immigrant families in the face of these disturbing threats.”

In California, Governor Gavin Newsom called the up-coming raids “cruel” while Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said that his city and local law enforcement will not participate in the operation.

An LAPD statement said, “The Department is not participating or assisting in any of these enforcement actions.”

Federal law enforcement will be on their own in Democrat cities and areas. Trump has called them mostly “high crime” cities.

Later things changed. Trump announced that the mass roundup would be delayed for two weeks. The delay would hopefully give Congress time for a bipartisan solution to the border crisis to be reached.

Trump Tweeted:

On a personal note, I don’t use Roundup Weed Killer because, in my opinion, it contains dangerous chemicals.

Now, if there’s going to be a roundup of illegal migrants, it’s going to be targeting people who could be dangerous to the community.

The show is getting more interesting and the popcorn smells good.

Leaving on a Jet Plane with a California Dream?

U.S. Border Patrol agents are being overwhelmed by the number of illegal migrants entering the U.S. and many cross over the border in Texas. Hundreds of migrant families will not stay in Texas but be flown to the state of California.

As many as three flights a week were scheduled to begin on Friday. The flights will fly 120 to 135 people to San Diego from the Rio Grande Valley in Texas.

The flights will continue indefinitely.

Border Patrol’s interim San Diego sector chief Douglas Harrison called it a “contingency operation” that would see at least three flights a week making the trip.

Each flight would cost the government around $6,000. Harrison said, “We don’t have an end date. We’ve got to give the people in Rio Grande Valley some relief.”

The Border Patrol says it is detaining around 8,000 people at a time in the Rio Grande Valley. That is double its maximum capacity. A 500-person tent was opened earlier this month but that’s not enough to care for these illegal migrants. .

Agents in the Rio Grande Valley will collect biographical information and do a medical screening before sending migrants to San Diego on flights contracted by ICE, Harrison said. Migrants will go from San Diego International Airport to a Border Patrol station. There they will be fingerprinted, interviewed and most likely screened again for medical problems.

The process of screening and interviewing one person typically takes several hours. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will decide whether to release or detain the families in San Diego.

Border arrests have surged since the summer to 98,977 in April which is nearly three times what they were a year earlier. Nearly seven of every 10 came as families or were children traveling alone. The Rio Grande Valley was by far the busiest passage point. The next busiest is El Paso, Texas.

The next move is said to be similar flights to Detroit, Miami and Buffalo, N.Y. The people going on these flights will not have a California dream come true.

I don’t care what side of the political spectrum you are on, this is a crisis that is happening now.

Will it take a heavy influx of illegal migrants in blue states to see that there is a real crisis at the southern border? I’m pretty sure that some people cannot be convinced because they refuse to see the problem and they are blinded by hatred for those of us who can see the truth.
