DHS announces nationwide surge in ‘sanctuary’ cities
DHS said officers will keep arresting people in the country illegally and named 13 sanctuary jurisdictions in a new enforcement push.
- The Department of Homeland Security announced that Immigration and Customs Enforcement had begun a nationwide “surge” in sanctuary cities to accelerate deportations, according to the agency.
- Reports said ICE officers were briefly instructed to stop arresting immigrants without criminal records, but DHS called the reports “false” and said that “no one is off the table” for arrest.
- Former ICE official Scott Mechkowski said the guidance was a communication error intended to prioritize criminal cases rather than stop other arrests.
- Former DHS official Luis Miranda disputed that explanation and attributed the episode to a conflict between career law enforcement officials and White House political aides.
