ICE director plans more neighborhood arrests after California’s ‘sanctuary state’ bill

The Trump administration’s immigration chief warned Friday that his agents will be making more arrests in California neighborhoods and workplaces because Gov. Jerry Brown signed a “sanctuary state” law.
Tom Homan, acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said Brown’s decision to sign Senate Bill 54, which offers more protections for unauthorized immigrants, undermines public safety and hinders his department from performing its federally mandated mission, adding that “the governor is simply wrong when he claims otherwise.”
SB 54 “will inevitably result in additional collateral arrests, instead of focusing on arrests at jails and prisons where transfers are safer for ICE officers and the community,” Homan warned.
His statement underscores the stakes of the state’s resistance to Donald Trump – given the millions of unauthorized immigrants who live here and have been given assurances of protection by Brown and Democratic leaders.
