Media warns illegals in Northern California of large ICE raid

San Francisco Chronicle:
U.S. immigration officials have begun preparing for a major sweep in San Francisco and other Northern California cities in which federal officers would look to arrest more than 1,500 undocumented people while sending a message that immigration policy will be enforced in the sanctuary state, according to a source familiar with the operation.

Officials at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE, declined to comment Tuesday on plans for the operation.

The campaign, centered in the Bay Area, could happen within weeks, and is expected to become the biggest enforcement action of its kind under President Trump, said the source, who requested anonymity because the plans have not been made public.

Trump has expressed frustration that sanctuary laws — which seek to protect immigrants and persuade them not to live in the shadows by restricting cooperation between local and federal authorities — get in the way of his goal of tightening immigration.

The operation would go after people who have been identified as targets for deportation, including those who have been served with final deportation orders and those with criminal histories, the source said. The number could tick up if officers come across other undocumented immigrants in the course of their actions and make what are known as collateral arrests.

Told of the planned sweep, California Sen. Dianne Feinstein expressed outrage Tuesday, saying immigrants “must not be targeted in raids solely because they are Californians.” She said a large-scale operation would show that “the administration is carrying out its enforcement actions to make a political point and not based on the security of the country.”

The source who spoke to The Chronicle said the plan calls for immigration officers to be flown in from other parts of the country to help carry out the operation. The sweep could span more than one day and will include enforcement of work sites suspected of illegally employing undocumented immigrants, the source said.

California is in a state of rebellion against federal enforcement of immigration laws and should not be surprised that they will be enforced.  Feinstein is misguided.  California is singled out because it is harboring more illegal aliens than any other state.  That is a danger to others in teh state as was shown by the Kate Steinle killing in San Francisco.

I get the feeling someone leaked this story to the media to give the illegals a had start.  Those responsible for the leak could be prosecuted for being accessories to the violation of the law.

Speaking of illegal alien criminals:
Illegal immigrant charged in the killings of two cops wishes he 'had killed more of the mother-------'
Protecting people like this is criminal.
