Limits Co-Operation: Street Presence and Thomas Homan

limits co-operation: It renewed threats of a bigger street presence in California, where state law sharply limits co-operation with immigration authorities at local jails, according to CTV. The agency's acting director, Thomas Homan, said Wednesday that Mayor Libby Schaaf's warning that an operation was imminent caused about 800 people to avoid arrest, an extraordinarily high number of missed targets. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said officers made 232 arrests from Sunday to Wednesday. White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Thursday that the mayor's warning was outrageous and under review by the Justice Department. The mayor has defended her actions. She wasn't more specific. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
