President Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan said Wednesday that the administration plans to “flood the zone” in sanctuary cities with federal immigration enforcement officers.
“We got 10,000 more agents coming on, we’re going to flood the zone,” Homan told reporters outside the White House.
Last week, the Trump administration asked a military base outside Chicago for support on immigration operations, offering a clue of what an expanded law enforcement crackdown might look like in the nation’s third-largest city.
The request came weeks after the Republican administration deployed National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., to target crime, immigration and homelessness, and two months after it sent troops to Los Angeles.
