In response to this post #TomHoman has tried to draw attention to the so-called #SanctuaryCities. In November, he suggested that he would ramp up the number of federal #immigration officers in those areas. “New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, the major cities in this country are still sanctuary cities,” Homan said then, adding, “If they’re not going to help us, then we’ll just double the manpower in those cities.” #Trump #law #CivilRights #USpol #Gestapo

In response to this post For #Trump, the *optics* of #immigration agents sporting ballistic gear & arresting immigrants with uncertain or contested status in a #Democratic-led city could be enough. The incoming admin is eager to find ways to send a message that it is cracking down on undocumented immigrants & punishing so-called #SanctuaryCities — communities like #Chicago that refuse to hand over immigrants detained by the police to federal immigration authorities. #law #CivilRights #USpol #Gestapo
Don Terry, a spox for the #Chicago police, said the dept would not “intervene or interfere with any other government agencies performing their duties,” but said it “does not document immigration status” & “will not share information with federal immigration authorities.” #TomHoman, #Trump’s pick to oversee his promised #MassDeportations, has said the public should expect #immigration action in the early days of the Trump presidency that creates “shock & awe.” #law #CivilRights #USpol #Gestapo

…these reassignments were unusual because they were ordered just as #Trump took office, said Mary McCord, a fmr #DOJ official who runs the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection at Georgetown University.
Top deputy positions in the #NationalSecurity division are typically career positions, though it’s possible the Trump administration is reassigning the career people to replace them with #political appointees, she said.
