DHS faces backlash over 'menacing' plan to send 'S.W.A.T.' teams out to 'knock on doors' in sanctuary cities
The Department of Homeland Security is moving ahead with a plan to send Border Patrol"SWAT" teams out to sanctuary cities in an effort to track down undocumented immigrants that benefit from policies barring local law enforcement from assisting the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
ICE will typically try to place a"detainer," or a request for local law enforcement to hold arrested individuals with removal orders in custody, until the immigration agency can detain them and oversee their deportation.However, cities with sanctuary policies obstruct ICE's efforts by barring local law enforcement bodies from turning undocumented immigrants in their custody over to ICE.
"If they would let local law enforcement honor a detainer, if they would provide resources to help ICE go in these communities [and] pick up the individuals who have a final order of removal," he said. Among the"intense training" BORTAC team members are meant to undergo are"operational planning, advanced weapon skills, defensive tactics and airmobile operations."
In a separate statement, a DHS spokesperson said"the crisis at the border affects communities throughout the United States and has a huge impact on ICE."
