In his first sit-down interview since taking over DHS, Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf discussed the dangers of sanctuary cities, border wall construction and new plans to combat the gangs that control the flow of illegal migrants across the border. Wolf spoke to Fox News during a visit to the Texas-Mexico border.
Just prior to his border visit, Wolf met with North Carolina sheriffs, local officials and “Angel Families†to discuss sanctuary city policies. Wolf told Fox’s Brian Kilmeade, “I thought it was important in my first week to call this out and to stand with the men and women of ICE… (Sanctuary cities) are magnets and…havens for criminals, and they make those communities less safe and not more safe. And it makes the officers of ICE, it makes their job more difficult and puts them in danger.†Kilmeade noted that police in North Carolina sanctuary cities refused 480 ICE detainer request during fiscal year 2019.
