US EditionICE Will ‘Ramp up’ Immigration Raids in Los Angeles, Other ‘Sanctuary Cities,’ Border Adviser Says
ICE has arrested over 5,000 criminal undocumented immigrants in Los Angeles since June, with plans to expand operations to Chicago using a naval base as a hub, officials said.
- Tom Homan, White House border czar, said federal officials will increase immigration enforcement in Los Angeles, California, and acknowledged discussions about Chicago, Illinois, as a possible next focus.
- Since early June, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has stepped up operations in Los Angeles, California, facing legal challenges including a temporary restraining order and a court denial to lift it.
- The administration has positioned soldiers, Immigration and Customs Enforcement , and border patrol agents in Los Angeles and sent 2,000 National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., while DHS requested limited support at Naval Station Great Lakes, Illinois, with agents housed Sept. 2-30, Navy Captain Stephen Yargosz said.
- DHS and administration officials cited the agency's 5,000th arrest in Los Angeles on Tuesday, framing immigration raids as a public safety success.
- Raids have continued in recent weeks, targeting atypical locations such as Home Depot stores and reflecting expanding tactics amid sanctuary policies' unclear definition.
