'Flood' of ICE agents is coming to cities run by Democrats, White House warns (USA Today)

White House border czar Tom Homan is promising to "flood" cities run by Democrats with immigration agents, as the Trump administration ramps up border enforcement.

Congress earlier this month gave the Trump administration more than $170 billion over the next four years to dramatically scale up enforcement, detention and deportation, and Homan said Americans living in so-called "sanctuary cities" can expect to see far more agents on the street soon.

"We're going to flood the zone," Homan said at a July 21 press conference. "Sanctuary cities get exactly what they don't want: more agents in the community and more agents in the work site. When we arrest (a suspected illegal immigrant) in the community, if he's with others that are in the country illegally, they're coming too."

Sanctuary cities won't help with ICE arrests

The White House has repeatedly singled out cities from Los Angeles to Denver to Boston for their refusal to assist ICE agents making detentions, and Homan has threatened to arrest elected officials who stymie the president.

History

Launched in 1985, (CIS) was founded by John Tanton, a retired ophthalmologist. He is also known as the founder of Numbers USA and the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), collectively known as the John Tanton Network. John Tanton believes maintaining an American culture requires “a European-American majority,” According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, he is a prominent figure in the white-nationalist movement.

The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) argues that John Tanton “played no part in its organization” as they state their founder is Otis L. Graham. According to his book, Debating American Immigration, 1882–present, Otis L. Graham was a chairman of the board of The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) (1985-1995).

The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) describes itself as “an independent, nonpartisan research organization.” According to the Daily Beast, “CIS focuses on reduced legal immigration and supports increased detention and deportation of undocumented immigrants.”

Members of CIS have testified before congress over 100 times between 1995-2009. In 2013, CIS played a significant role in fighting the bipartisan immigration reform bill. Mark Krikorian appeared in Congress to testify against the bill, claiming that “virtually all illegal aliens are guilty of multiple felonies.”

According to Politifact, in 2016, Jason Richwine, best known for his controversial doctoral dissertation entitled “IQ and Immigration Policy,” began writing reports and blogs for CIS about immigration.

In 2016, The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) published “79 immigration actions the next president can take.” According to a Daily Beast article, they state “a number of the 79 items on the list composed by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) have either been implemented or shown up in leaked draft proposals from the (Trump) administration.”

Bolding is mine.

In my opinion, this source should have no standing at DU.

7. I wouldn't suggest they go into the Hood

here in KC.

[Bettie]

8. Yeah, they aren't going there

they're going to courthouses to take people who are following the process.

Weird that they aren't going into other types of neighborhoods, if they are "looking for gang members".

[leftyladyfrommo]

11. I don't think the gangs would go quietly.

They are very territorial and armed to the teeth.

[Bettie]

13. And ICE is not exactly

hiring the best people.

[leftyladyfrommo]

14. They are different from arresting 80 year

olds with walkers.

I was proud of those 80 year olds. They still have spunk. Good for them.

We have a huge Arabic and Hispanic population here.
