ICE Starts Immigration Raids In Sanctuary City Chicago Sunday

I still think that Trump should have gone after illegals in areas that do not want them first, but, this sets a tone, and dares Democrats to block federal law enforcement agents

ICE says ‘targeted operations’ are underway in Chicago; feds target at least 2 Albany Park buildings

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were spotted on the ground in Chicago as the agency said “targeted operations” are underway Sunday.

ICE released a statement on Sunday saying that it is working alongside multiple federal agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the U.S. Marshals service.

ICE went on to say together they have started “conducting enhanced, targeted operations today in Chicago to enforce U.S. immigration law.”

President Donald Trump’s “border czar” Tom Homan and Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove are in town to oversee the deportation operations. (snip)

While Homan says for now, they are focusing on criminals with arrest warrants or deportation orders against them, the fear many have is that others, who Homan has referred to as “collaterals,” will also be arrested.

Well, yeah, because, at the end of the day, illegals/fake asylum seekers who have not committed crimes in their home country or in the US still broke federal immigration law, which, for a first offense is a small fine and deportation

Pritzker on immigration raids: ‘We need to get rid of violent criminals,’ not ‘law-abiding’ residents

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) said he’s eager to cooperate with federal immigration officials to “get rid” of criminals but questioned the basis for targeting “law-abiding” residents integrated into communities.

“Let me start by being clear that when we’re talking about violent criminals who’ve been convicted and who are undocumented, we don’t want them in our state. We want them out of the country. We hope they do get deported, and if that’s who they’re picking up, we’re all for it,” Pritzker said in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“They show up with a warrant, and we’re going to hand over people who are in our prisons, who are in our jails, who fit that description,” he added.

Two points: first, that law abiding have already broken the law, as I mentioned. Second, for all Pritzker says he doesn’t want them, he’s protecting them by being a sanctuary state which directs law enforcement to never contact ICE, even if it is an illegal who raped and murdered a child. Notice he says he won’t hand them over without a warrant, meaning jails have been instructed to not accept a detainer, which is the norm for ICE.

Pritzker said the best approach would be to provide a path to citizenship for those people.

“Why are we going after them?” he continued. “These are not people who are causing problems in our country, and what we need is a path to citizenship for them.”

There’s a way to do that: apply for citizenship outside of the US and go through the process. Otherwise, f*** off.
