Cities targeted include Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, and New york, where local authorities have declined to cooperate with ICE efforts. Homan emphasized reallocating resources to these &#8220;problem areas&#8221; to address public safety threats posed by undocumented immigrants released by sanctuary city policies. He contrasted this with states like Texas and Florida, where law enforcement actively collaborates with ICE.<\/p>\n<p>During a recent visit to Portland, Homan met with ICE agents amid reaffirmation by Portland&#8217;s mayor that city employees, including police, will not assist federal immigration operations. Seattle&#8217;s mayor responded strongly against federal threats, calling them political theater and vowing to protect local control and residents&#8217; rights, including pursuing legal action.<\/p>\n<p>homan defended ICE enforcement statistics, noting that about 70% of those arrested have criminal records, including DUIs and gang-related activities. He also highlighted efforts to apprehend individuals with final deportation orders who remain in the country illegally, reinforcing that illegal entry is a crime. The article reflects ongoing tensions between federal immigration enforcement and sanctuary jurisdictions. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Border czar says ICE ops will ramp up after Labor Day<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2215770\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>(The Center Square) &ndash; Border czar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tom-homan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tom Homan<\/a> told reporters that U.S. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/ice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Immigration and Customs Enforcement<\/a> operations will expand after Labor Day in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/sanctuary-cities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sanctuary cities<\/a> nationwide, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/seattle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Seattle<\/a>, Wash., and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/portland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Portland<\/a>, Ore.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You&rsquo;re going to see a ramp up of operations in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/new-york\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New York<\/a>.

A lot of gang members don&rsquo;t have a criminal history.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>He concluded, &ldquo;And finally, final deportation orders. People who had due process at great taxpayer expense. They were ordered removed by a federal judge, and they didn&rsquo;t leave. And we&rsquo;re looking for them, too, because we&rsquo;re sending a message to the whole world.
