Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Todd Lyons has shared “the perfect way” for so-called “sanctuaries” for illegal aliens like Illinois if want to keep ICE agents from running enforcement operations in their areas. In an interview with Co-anchor Dana Perino on America’s Newsroom this week, Lyons discussed how Illinois the state has released 1,768 criminal illegal aliens since President Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20, despite ICE’s detainer requests. Perino noted that criminal offenses by those illegal aliens released back onto Illinois’ streets include, include: Homicide Assault Burglary Robbery Drug offenses Weapon offenses Sexual predator offenses What’s more, Illinois law enforcement has another four thousand criminal illegal aliens in custody that it could turn over to ICE, but is refusing to do so. In Chicago, for example, sanctuary politicians actively resisted ICE efforts to round up illegal alien criminals, ICE noted in a press release: “ICE continues to arrest violent criminal illegal aliens as part of Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago, despite resistance from activists and sanctuary politicians like Gov. JB Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson.” On Wednesday, Democrat Illinois Governor JB Pritzker signed a bill designed to actively thwart ICE agents’ efforts to enforce federal immigration laws in his state – a move the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) says violates the U.S. Constitution’s Supremacy Clause. But, if people don’t want ICE agents in their neighborhoods, there’s a simpler way to keep them out, Lyons said: “This is a chance for them to turn over over four thousand criminally illegal aliens that are felons. “And if people don’t want ICE doing enforcement operations in their neighborhoods, this is a perfect way to work with:  turn over these criminal aliens – because that’s who we’re out there looking for.”
