Limits Co-Operation: Administration Claims and Deportation Arrests

limits co-operation: The administration has been threatening more not less immigration enforcement in California in response to a new state law that sharply limits co-operation with federal authorities, according to Metro News. The president's suggestion, however impractical, was his latest attention-grabbing statement to pressure so-called sanctuary jurisdictions, which the administration claims are a magnet for immigrants who commit crimes. Withdrawing ICE, partially or completely, runs counter to Trump's record of dramatically increasing deportation arrests and pledging to beef up the agency with an additional 10,000 employees. Frankly, if I wanted to pull our people from California you would have a crime nest like you've never seen in California, he said at the White House during a meeting with state and local officials on school safety and gun violence. You would see crime like nobody has ever seen crime in this country. All I'd have to do is say is, 'ICE and Border Patrol, let California alone,' you'd be inundated. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
