Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump Threatens to Pull ICE From California to Teach State a Lesson [View all]
Source: The Daily Beast
President Trump on Thursday said hes thinking about pulling Immigration and Customs Enforcement out of California in retaliation for the states lack of support on his position on sanctuary cities and for the state being no help in targeting the MS-13 gang. I mean, frankly, if I wanted to pull our people out of California, you would have a crime mess like youve never seen in California, he said. They're doing a lousy management job, they have the highest taxes in the nation and they don't know what's happening out there. He also said that if he took ICE forces out of California, in two months they'd be begging for us to come back, they would be begging. And you know what, Im thinking about doing it."
