'We've Got to Enforce the Law': ICE Director Lays Out Hard Line on Illegal Immigration

Eboni Williams laid out her case against illegal immigration in "Eboni's Docket" on "The Fox News Specialists."

Williams said that few issues are as controversial as illegal immigration, but that action must be taken now.

"I submit to you that Donald J. Trump rose to the presidency on [the issue's] intensity," she said.

Williams said the latest tragedy involving the deaths of ten illegals in the back of a sweltering big rig in Texas illustrates why the practice of illegal border crossings must be dealt with.

She said that the government can no longer "kick the can down the road on real policy solutions around immigration reform."

"The intention of sanctuary cities is to protect [the immigrants]," she said, but noted they "actually further endanger the immigrant community itself."

"Nobody appreciates and encourages the richness and beauty of cultural diversity more than me. But I am not here for sanctuary cities as a means to that end," she said.

Eboni Williams: Sanctuary Cities Endanger the Immigrant Community - Fox News Insider

President Donald Trump compared America to a nation under wartime occupation that needs to be liberated from illegal immigrants during a Make America Great Again rally in Ohio Tuesday night.

Trump said illegal immigrant gang members are like animals and that theyre not using guns to kill people because it's too fast and it's not painful enough.

He claimed gang members will take a young, beautiful girl, 16, 15 and others and they slice them and dice them with a knife because they want them to go through excruciating pain before they die.

The president didnt cite a specific example of this happening, but Fox News reported July 19 about how young girls associated with the gang MS-13 were used to lure four men from a rival gang to a Long Island New York park in April before gang members hacked the men to death with machetes. Some of the young men who died were the children of immigrants.

Several murders on Long Island have been linked to the gang. In March, gang members were charged with the September 2016 killing of two teen girls who were also hacked to death.

We are throwing MS-13 the hell out of here so fast, Trump said during the rally in Youngstown, Ohio. We are cracking down hard on the foreign criminal gangs that have brought illegal drugs, violence, horrible bloodshed to peaceful neighborhoods all across our country, he said.

The MS-13 gang was originally founded in Los Angeles, California, in the 1980s and has since spread throughout the U.S. and to Mexico and Central America. Members are mainly from El Salvador.

Trump said that people are screaming from their windows, thank you, thank you to the border patrol and to General Kelly's great people that come in and grab these thugs and throw them the hell out.

Were liberating our towns, and were liberating our cities. Can you believe we have to do that? he asked. Trump said that this is not being done in a politically correct fashion. Were doing it rough.

Trump said he is cracking down on "sanctuary cities" which don't require local law enforcement officers to arrest undocumented immigrants. On Tuesday Attorney General Jeff Sessions moved to make federal grants to local law enforcement more difficult if police don't help more withfederal immigration enforcement.

Police chiefs from major cities across the U.S. have said doing this will make their job of fighting local crime more difficult as it will deter witnesses and victims from coming forward.

Early this year Trump signed a pair of executive orders directing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to round up illegal immigrants who have previously been charged with even minor non-violent crimes.

In the hundred days after those orderswere signed, arrests of illegal immigrants rose 38 percent from the previous year. Yet deportations also shrank 12 percent during the same period.

Illegal immigration to the U.S. has shrunk overall during Trumps administration, falling by more than 61 percent.

By and large, those arrested under Trumps executive orders have been undocumented immigrants who have not committed a violent crime.

Between January 22 and April 29, ICE made 10,800 non-criminal arrests compared to just 4,200 during the same period in 2016.There are many examples of families whohave been separated in these instances.

Trump Says Immigrant Gang Members 'Slice and Dice' Young, Beautiful Girls - Newsweek

An Ecuadorian citizen who was illegally in the United States and had been convicted of rape was among 114 people arrested during an 11-day operation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in New York, the agency said Tuesday.

ICE said the sweep, which ended Saturday, targeted fugitives and and people who have violated U.S. immigration laws, including those who re-entered the country after being deported.

Of those arrested during the operation, 82 people had criminal histories, including prior convictions for sex crimes, drug offenses and fraud, while 15 others had pending criminal charges, including assault, larceny and sexual exploitation of a minor.

Others taken into custody included a Jamaican citizen -- with a prior conviction for forcible touching, robbery in the 1st degree and acting in a manner to injure a child less than 17 -- and a Mexican citizen whose criminal record includes a 1st degree manslaughter conviction, authorities said.

Our nation has a proud history of immigration, but we are also a nation governed by laws specifically designed to protect its citizens and residents. ERO deportation officers are committed to enforcing the immigration laws set forth by our legislators, said Thomas Decker, field office director for Enforcement and Removal Operations in New York. Of those arrested during this operation, nine were released from New York custody with an active detainer, which poses an increased risk to the officers and the community.

ICE arrests 114 in New York operation targeting fugitives, illegal immigrants - Fox News

BOSTON Pro-illegal immigration activists crashed a press conference on Wednesday held to announce the filing of a bill intended to combat a recent MassachusettsSupreme Judicial Court decision barring local police departments from acting upon federal detainer requests.

Keep hate out of our state, the activists chanted, disrupting state Representative Jim Lyons (R-Andover), who at the time was speaking to reporters from a podium.

Folks, I appreciate the fact that you came, Im not going to interrupt you, please do not interrupt me, Lyons told the lead protester, identified as Centro Presente Executive Director Patricia Montes. Please, be respectful.

I am being respectful, Montes shot back. But youre not being respectful of the immigrant community.

The testy exchange occurred inside the State House, where a gaggle of reporters had assembled to hear from Lyons and other lawmakers, including fellow Republican state representatives Marc Lombardo of Billerica, Joseph McKenna of Worcester, Shaunna OConnell of Taunton and Geoff Diehl of Whitman, regarding the groups recently filed legislation. Also in attendance was Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson, who has made headlines for his critical views on illegal immigration.

Im listening, Im going to listen, but if you say racist stuff against our community, were going to get mad, Montes told Lyons at one point.

Hodgson later directly addressed the activists.

Let me just remind you and the other protesters here that the First Amendment affords every one of us the opportunity to be heard, not to be interrupted, you have your forum to speak, but do not interrupt our constitutional right, Hodgson said before being cut off by Montes.

Dont violate basic human rights of immigrants, thats why Im here, Montes said. Youre criminalizing the immigrant community, you have been criminalizing the immigrant community for years.

Montes later backed off, but redoubled her efforts once Diehl began speaking. Diehl said the SJCs ruling makes no sense whatsoever, prompting Montes and other activities to resume chanting. Montes appeared to draw the ire of Hodgson after she repeatedly positioned herself between the press conference podium and the lenses of television network cameras. A House court officer tried to coax Montes away from the area in front of the podium but was met with protests from Montes.

Dont yell at me, Montes said to the officer, wagging her finger at him. You know that I have rights. Dont touch me and dont yell at me.

The confrontation prompted Lyons to remark, I think youre (Montes) the one yelling at us.

Montes later demanded that Lyons and other lawmakers produce data on crimes committed by undocumented immigrants.

Im not talking about cases, I want to have specific data, youre filing a bill and I imagine you have enough information, because basically what you are saying is that all undocumented people in Massachusetts are criminals, a visibly animated Montes said.

You may not like the answer, but youve asked a question, Lyons said. And I didnt interrupt you the way you interrupted us.

Lyons mentioned late Mays fentanyl drug bust in Lawrence, which resulted in the arrests of 30, at least nine of whom had entered the country illegally.

Our purpose in this bill is not to say that there are illegal immigrants and everyones a criminal, despite the fact that thats what youre saying, our purpose of this bill is to protect the citizens of the United States and specifically Massachusetts, Lyons said.

Lyons and other lawmakers filed the bill, titled An Act to Clarify the Jurisdiction of Law Enforcement Officials on Immigration issues, on Tuesday. Ahead of Wednesdays press conference, Lyons took to social media and wrote on his Facebook page that the bill will allow police and law enforcement personnel to arrest illegal immigrants.

Meanwhile, Lyons told reporters and activists at Wednesdays press conference that he and other lawmakers want to make sure that our law enforcement officers have the tools necessary, and one of those tools is to be able to work cooperatively with our federal authorities.

Montes began speaking loudly again while Lombardo was at the microphone.

This is very common for the left, Lombardo said, regarding Montess behavior.

Montes later led activists in additional chants as Lyons attempted to end the press conference.

The Democratic Party in Massachusetts is able to get things done quickly; every day that they refuse to address the underlying safety of our communities they are putting our citizens at risk, Lyons said, before taking a swipe at the legislative and constitutional officer pay raise bill championed by Democratic leadership and passed in January at the beginning of the current session in January.

What we are demanding is that this Legislature look at this bill and determine that the public safety of Massachusetts citizens is paramount, and we would urge them to pass this legislation, Lyons added.

Activists Disrupt Illegal Immigration Bill Announcement - NewBostonPost (blog)

Donald Trump has launched a scathing attack on illegal immigrants and suggested they are animals who slice and dice young girls.

Speaking at a campaign-style make America great again rally in Youngstown in Ohio, the US President likened the country to a nation going through a war which needed to be freed from illegal migrants.

The billionaire property developer, who has seen the number of immigrants with no criminal records arrested more than double under his presidency, claimed illegal immigrant gang members are not using guns because they are not painful enough.

One by one, we are finding the illegal gang members, drug dealers, thieves, robbers, criminals, and killers. And we are sending them the hell back home where they came from, President Trump told the crowd prompting applause.

And once they are gone, we will never let them back in, believe me. The predators and criminal aliens who poison our communities with drugs and prey on innocent young people - these beautiful, beautiful, innocent young people - will find no safe haven anywhere in our country.

He added: And youve seen the stories about some of these animals. They dont want to use guns because its too fast and its not painful enough. So theyll take a young, beautiful girl, 16, 15, and others, and they slice them and dice them with a knife because they want them to go through excruciating pain before they die.

President Trump, who mentioned no specific examples of where or when instances such as these had taken place, then branded them animals for the second time, saying America had been protecting them for too long.

He added: "Well, they're not being protected any longer, folks. And that is why my administration is launching a nationwide crackdown on sanctuary cities.

Mr Trump, who became famed for making inflammatory, xenophobic remarks during his presidential campaign, claimed US citizens were increasingly grateful forborder patrol.

He said: People are screaming from their windows, thank you, thank you to the border patrol and to General Kelly's great people that come in and grab these thugs and throw them the hell out.

Were liberating our towns, and were liberating our cities. Can you believe we have to do that? he asked.

The President claimed this was not being done in a politically correct fashion and they were instead doing it rough.

Despite the fact his predecessor Barack Obama was often branded deporter-in-chief by migrant rights activists, Mr Trump vociferously pledged to take a more stringent stance on illegal immigration during his election campaign.

Since arriving in the White House, he has pushed immigration enforcement further up the political agenda and arrests of immigrants residing in the US haveincreased. Nevertheless, deportations have marginally decreased as fewer people have been caught illegally crossing the Mexican border into the US.

Mr Trump also used the one-hour speech in the blue-collar rust belt city, which is a former centre of steel production, to express his happiness at being back in Americas heartland and away from the Washington swamp.

He also spent the address showing off about his presidential prowess and launching into an attack on fake news.

"It is much easier to act presidential than what we are doing here tonight, believe me. With the exception of the late, great Abraham Lincoln, I can be more presidential than any president that's ever held this office, he said.

"I think that with few exceptions, no president has done anywhere near what we've done in his first six months. Not even close.

The address was briefly interrupted by protesters on a couple of occasions with President Trump jeering at demonstrator by saying hes going back home to mommy.
