Report: ICE Agents Have Been Targeting Sanctuary Cities for Deportation Raids
According to senior immigration officials, ICE agents are targeting sanctuary cities during their deportation raids in an attempt to force those cities to cooperate with federal immigration agents, CNN reports.
The tactics have been discussed in private meetings with high ranking ICE officials who have discussed increasing the amount of raids conducted in those areas, according to CNN’s source. US Magistrate Judge Andrew Austin confirmed that this is the case during an immigration hearing held on Monday, saying that a raid conducted in Austin, Texas was done in part to retaliate against Travis County Sheriff Sally Hernadez’s refusal to comply, saying that her department would only hold immigrants if the “individual was arrested for murder, sexual assault or human trafficking, or a warrant had been issued.”
