DHS preparing to arrest leaders of sanctuary cities
2018-01-17
[WashingtonTimes] Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen confirmed Tuesday that her department has asked federal prosecutors to see if they can lodge criminal charges against sanctuary cities that refuse to cooperate with federal deportation efforts.

"The Department of Justice is reviewing what avenues may be available," Ms. Nielsen told the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Her confirmation came after California’s new sanctuary law went into effect Jan. 1, severely restricting cooperation the state or any of its localities could offer.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Tom Homan says those policies put his officers and local communities at more risk because they have to arrest illegal immigrants out in the community.

Mr. Homan told The Washington Times last July that he wanted to see local officials charged as complicit in human smuggling if they shielded illegal immigrants through sanctuary policies.

Mr. Homan repeated that demand in an interview with Fox News earlier this year, setting off a firestorm of criticism.

#16  Perfectly Legal.
They give "sanctuary" to murderers and rapist Whom then just cross state lines and do the same thing elsewhere.

This Confederacy needs to end full stop.
You hit the flight floor on this one.

#14  Wrong target. Instead of the mayors, move on the chiefs of police et al. Arrest them, formally charge them go to trial. They are, after all, responsible for enforcement in their jurisdiction.

Target the county Sheriffs as well.

#12  When state officials collect taxes on the sale of marijuana that makes them complicit in a federal crime. Put them in jail for it.

Get a conviction. With that on their records, they become unemployable in law enforcement.
That'll get their attention.
