‘No sanctuary anywhere’: Border Patrol chief delivers message to illegals after Sacramento raid
July 18, 2025 | Hailey Gomez
Border Patrol Chief for California’s El Centro sector Gregory Bovino delivered a message Thursday on Fox News to illegal migrants, saying there is “no sanctuary anywhere” after agents conducted a raid in Sacramento.
Fox News’ Bill Melugin joined California Border Patrol agents Thursday in south Sacramento, where officials made over 10 arrests. Speaking with Bovino outside of California’s capitol building, the border chief addressed the state’s sanctuary status following a judge’s decision to halt deportations in Los Angeles and surrounding cities.
“There is no sanctuary city. Sacramento is not a sanctuary city. The state of California is not a sanctuary state,” Bovino said. “There is no sanctuary anywhere. We’ll be here. You’ll probably see us in many of the locations as well. We’re here to stay. We’re not going anywhere. We’re going to effect this mission and secure the homeland.”
Melugin had previously described the ride-along with federal officials to Baier, stating that Border Patrol agents had “pulled up to a local Home Depot” as “suspected illegal immigrants” were seen attempting to flee the scene. After several pursuits, Border Patrol told Melugin that “record checks came back already on one of those men, showing he’s a felon with a prior conviction for fentanyl trafficking.”
The Fox News correspondent also highlighted that a U.S. citizen was among those arrested, showing agents tackling him to the ground after he allegedly slashed the tire of a federal vehicle.
