The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson attended Friday’s White House briefing and asked Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt about Democrats in “sanctuary cities” potential violation of the law with their failure to protect American citizens.
TGP’s Jordan Conradson: Karoline, yes. Thank you so much for having me here answering a question. So I want to talk more about the success that ICE is having finding these violent criminal aliens, some of them being sexual predators.
But my friend Ben Berquam reports that the Chicago mayor and the Illinois governor are preventing ICE agents from going into jails and prisons to enforce detainers against illegal aliens.
In Maryland, the attorney general has also put out a memo hindering local police cooperation with ICE.
Does the administration have any comment on leftist state and local officials defying ICE and Trump’s deportation efforts?
Karoline Leavitt: Yeah, I think it’s very interesting that Democrat officials in these cities, who have been completely overrun and overwhelmed, by illegal immigrant criminals would refuse support and help to cure this problem that has especially taken over their cities.
I guess they don’t want to admit they’ve been wrong with their sanctuary city policies. I’m not sure. You’ll have to ask them about their intentions, but they would be very wise to comply with this administration because this administration is hell-bent on enforcing our nation’s immigration laws, and this administration will continue to arrest, and detain, and deport illegal migrant criminals.
And what we don’t do is defy our nation’s immigration laws like the previous administration, who had these orders of removal on illegal immigrants across the country, and we’re refusing to execute on them. We will continue to remove illegal criminals from our nation’s interior.
Jordan Conradson: Are these sanctuary city leaders….are they violating the law?
Karoline Leavitt: I would certainly think so. I’d have to check back on which specific law they’re violating. But certainly, if they’re not enforcing our nation’s immigration law, it sounds like they are breaking the law.
And I would also add that their constituents don’t approve of that. You’ve seen residents in Chicago show up at their city council meetings infuriated with their leadership in that city because they are working very hard to provide for their families.
They want public safety and law and order, and their officials have abandoned those very basic American principles in these cities.
And the American people want law and order.
It’s, again, an overwhelmingly popular policy to deport illegal criminals from our nation’s interior, and this administration will continue to affect that goal.
