JUST IN: Trump’s Genius Strategy To Side-Step Sanctuary City Policies Is Revealed

Trump administration officials are laying the groundwork for a bold new strategy to sidestep local opposition to their immigration agenda, according to a Fox News contributor who said he’s impressed with their plans.
Marc Thiessen, a previous speech writer to former President George W. Bush, told a Fox panel he was left amazed after learning that immigration officials, led by White House border czar Tom Homan and Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, will soon begin employing a new classification of law-breaking behavior by illegal immigrants that sanctuary cities and states may find impossible to ignore.
Until now, sanctuary locales have been generally free to ignore civil detainers by U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement, which are lodged when federal officials receive notice that a suspected illegal immigrant has been placed in custody. The suspects are frequently given court appearances, either walking on recognizance or posting bond before ICE agents can arrive days later to apprehend them.
But such jurisdictions will be no match for felony federal warrants, a new charge that the Trump administration plans to slap illegal immigrants with after they are located.
“Two elections now, Donald Trump has beaten the Democrats, powered by illegal immigration, and they still can’t seem to get it right,” Thiessen said while speaking about the Los Angeles riots. “You have people literally burning cars, throwing rocks at ICE agents, and the Democrats are siding with the protesters over the administration trying to restore law and order.”
“And what has the left riled up, and what’s causing all this, is that the Trump administration has figured out a way around sanctuary city laws. Local officials can refuse to honor an ICE detainer, but they can’t refuse to honor a federal felony warrant. So the Trump administration has this thing called Operation Guardian Angel, where they are charging illegal migrants who reenter the country with felony illegal reentry, and then they are presenting the local jurisdictions with federal felony warrants, and they have to hand them over. So they’ve been handing over hundreds of illegal migrants to ICE, and this has set people off—they found a way to basically lock the sanctuary city policies.”
