Excerpts from article:
...ICE is making a lot of noise after years of criticizing how some Democrat-run cities and states known as sanctuary zones, where police will not report illegal immigrants, will not honor the agency's requests to work together.
...Sanctuary zones release illegal immigrants after they make bail or serve time in jail, including those with criminal convictions, without notifying ICE. ICE is guided by the same policies that existed under the Obama administration, but it is acting more aggressively at the direction of the Trump White House.
..."I'm more than happy, more than excited the administration is stepping up the game," former acting ICE Director Tom Homan, who worked a year and a half under Trump, told the Washington Examiner.
...It is not just ICE taking a tougher approach to sanctuary cities.
...On top of the public campaign to shame New York City officials, ICE held a press conference in New York where Albence attempted to further castigate New York officials for not turning nine criminal immigrants over to ICE. ICE has also put a higher focus on publicizing the number of convicted illegal immigrants released from jails in major cities.
