Law enforcement agencies that resist helping U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement round up criminal illegal migrants are going to be called out by their own in a new escalation of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
The national police publication Law Enforcement Today said that it would list departments and cities that refuse to cooperate with ICE and other departments seeking to find, arrest, and deport the thousands of criminal illegal immigrants in the nation.
“As the largest group of online law enforcement publications, Law Enforcement Today is committed to assisting the Trump administration, border czar Tom Homan, and the Department of Homeland Security in securing our border and, most importantly, sending as many illegals out of our country and back to their country of origin as possible,” said the publication.
Over 700 jurisdictions and their police departments have declared themselves sanctuaries for all illegal immigrants, including any with a record of violence. A recent report said that sanctuaries are hiding 60% of criminal illegal immigrants from ICE
Homan has pledged to override those declarations and even arrest officials who get in his way.
The police publication said it would help direct ICE and Homan to resistance departments to test sanctuary policies.
“We have been told that some police chiefs and sheriffs are going to refuse to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s efforts to remove those whom the Biden administration allowed into our country unabated. That will not stand,” said the group in an online note shared with Secrets.

“Our promise is this. Our relationship with Tom Homan and President Trump is a solid one. If Law Enforcement Today is informed about any chief of police or law enforcement official refusing to cooperate with ICE or hindering efforts by the federal government to enforce our immigration laws, Law Enforcement Today will use our reach of more than 50 million people per month and our voice to call them out,” said the notice.
In a further warning, it added, “We are putting you on notice. Hinder efforts of federal immigration authorities to remove criminal illegal aliens from the United States and we will make you famous, and not in a good way.”
