With border virtually closed Trump moves to deportation

 Daily Torch:

Border encounters on the southwest border between the U.S. and Mexico have slowed to all but a trickle since President Donald Trump re-assumed office on Jan. 20 upon calling a national emergency, deploying the U.S. military to the border and reviving the Remain in Mexico policy.

Now, after this historic progress, the President has set his sights on what he promises will be the largest deportation operation in American history, including some 145,000 already removed via traditional immigration proceedings.

During former President Joe Biden’s single term of office, there were more than 10 million encounters on the southern border, most of whom were let into the country, never to be seen again, moving into our cities and everywhere else.

Meaning, state and local cooperation is of the highest importance to address the illegal aliens already in America who broke the law to get here — and cities and states have increasingly become a problem by declaring sanctuary policies and refusing to cooperate with federal authorities on immigration enforcement.

In August, the Justice Department published a list of cities, counties and states that that it stated “having policies, laws, or regulations that impede enforcement of federal immigration laws.”

The sanctuary states and territories include California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington.

The sanctuary counties include Baltimore County, Md., Cook County, Ill., San Diego County, Calif. and San Francisco County, Calif.

And the sanctuary cities include Albuquerque, N.M., Berkeley, Calif., Boston, Mass., Chicago, Ill., Denver, Colo., East Lansing, Mich., Hoboken, N.J., Jersey City, N.J., Los Angeles, Calif., New Orleans, La., New York City, N.Y., Newark, N.J., Paterson, N.J., Philadelphia, Pa., Portland, Oreg., Rochester, N.Y., Seattle, Wash. and San Francisco City, Calif.

So-called sanctuary jurisdictions are facilitating a crime and should be subject to potential prosecution.  

They are ignoring US law and should be held accountable.  Trump is right to begin the deportation of people who are illegally in the US.
