Border Czar Tom Homan: We've Already Arrested 308 Criminal Illegal Alien Murderers and Rapists

He also makes Dana Bash very, very sad when he tells her that illegal aliens can be arrested even if they've committed no other crime than illegal entry into the country.

Further, he says that leftwing mayors and governors can either cooperate and help ICE catch the wanted criminals, or ICE will search illegal alien neighborhoods themselves and arrest both the normal illegal aliens and the wanted illegal aliens.

So it's the lefties who are responsible for non-wanted illegal aliens being deported.

"There's going to be more collateral arrests in sanctuary cities because they forced us to go into the community and find the guy we're looking for," Homan said.

"When you release a public safety threat out of a sanctuary jail and they won't give us access to him, that means we got to go to the neighborhood and find him, and we will find him, but when we find him, he may be with others," Homan added. "Others that don't have a criminal conviction and are in the country illegally. They will be arrested too."

Homan said that's the difference between the Trump administration and the previous one: "ICE is going to enforce the immigration law."

As he went on to note, there's nothing in the Immigration and Nationality Act stating an illegal immigrant must be convicted of a serious crime to be deported.

Surprised by his statement, Bash asked for clarification on what he was saying.

"Let me just make sure that I understand what you're saying, because at first you said that the first targets are those with criminal records, but you are also saying that those who are undocumented in the U.S. who don't have criminal records, people who are working in their communities, maybe even have spouses who are American citizens, they could be swept up by ICE today as well?" she asked.

"What I'm telling you is, when we go find our priority target, which is a criminal alien, if he's with others in the United States illegally, we're going to take enforcement action against him," Homan replied. "We're going to enforce the immigration law."

My dick just got remoralized.

And it just got even more remoralized: the Justice Department is putting Sanctuary Democrats on notice that it is illegal to block the federal government from executing federal policy and they will be prosecuted if they turn Insurrectionist.

The Justice Department is directing its federal prosecutors to investigate for potential criminal charges any state or local officials who stand in the way of beefed-up enforcement of immigration laws under the Trump administration, according to a memo to the workforce obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday.

The memo, written by acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, also instructs the Justice Department's civil division to work with a newly formed Sanctuary Cities Enforcement Working Group to identify state and local laws and policies that "threaten to impede" the Trump administration's immigration efforts and potentially challenge them in court.

The three-page memo signals an immediate and sharp turnabout in priorities from President Joe Biden's Democratic administration, with prosecutors told in no uncertain terms that they will be on the front lines of an administration-wide effort to crack down on illegal immigration and border crime and that they are expected to carry out the policy vision of President Donald Trump's Republican White House when it comes to violent crimes, the threat of transnational gangs and drug trafficking.

...

The memo said federal prosecutors must "take all steps necessary to protect the public and secure the American border by removing illegal aliens from the country and prosecuting illegal aliens for crimes" committed in U.S. jurisdiction."

The memo suggests there will be a spike in immigration cases under the new administration, instructing U.S. attorney's offices across the country to inform courts of its policy "and develop processes for handling the increased number of prosecutions that will result." Any decisions by federal prosecutors to decline to prosecute immigration violations must be disclosed to Justice Department headquarters in so-called "urgent reports," which are used to update leadership on law enforcement emergencies or significant matters of national interest.

It also directs prosecutors to investigate for potential criminal charges cases in which state and local officials obstruct or impede federal functions. As potential avenues for prosecution, the memo cites a conspiracy offense as well as a law prohibiting the harboring of people in the country illegally.

"Federal law prohibits state and local actors from resisting, obstructing and otherwise failing to comply with lawful immigration-related commands and requests," the memo says. "The U.S. Attorney's Offices and litigating components of the Department of Justice shall investigate incidents involving any such misconduct for potential prosecution.

...

The memo also says the department will return to the principle of charging defendants with the most serious crime it can prove, a staple position of Republican-led departments meant to remove a prosecutor's discretion to charge a lower-level offense. And it rescinds policies implemented by Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland, including one designed to end sentencing disparities that have imposed harsher penalties for different forms of cocaine.

I was told Insurrection was the greatest crime imaginable, and must be punished by the harshest and most draconian means possible.

So that's the standard we should shoot for, then.

Transgender Simon Phoenix, who has now gone full Insurrectionist and claimed that Trump stole the election -- not that Jake Tapper noticed or minded -- is melting down about Trump's orders on immigration.
