U.s. Border Agents To Pursue Migrants In 'sanctuary' Cities

WASHINGTON – Federal agents who patrol the U.S. border will deploy to “sanctuary” cities across the country where local jurisdictions are hindering stepped up immigration enforcement, officials said Friday. The deployment of Customs and Border Patrol agents, some with tactical training, to the interior of the country is unusual and represents another escalation in the confrontation between the Trump administration and the local jurisdictions that have set up roadblocks to immigration enforcement. Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Matthew Albence said additional forces are needed because people without legal authorization to be in the country are being released from local jails in sanctuary cities and counties before his agents can take them into custody. ICE then has to make “at large arrests” of these immigrants who have been released, Albence said in a statement announcing the move. “This effort requires a significant amount of additional time and resources,” he said.
