San Francisco 'will continue to be a sanctuary city,' Mayor London Breed says ahead of anticipated ICE raids. 'Our city is committed to not dedicating any financial resources to cooperating with ICE. We will support and stand by our immigrant community.'
President Donald Trump confirmed Friday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents would conduct weekend raids this Sunday to deport immigrants with outstanding orders to leave the country.
A law enforcement official briefed on the operation told ABC News agents would target only undocumented immigrants with final removal orders, who would be arrested and in most cases deported. When raids were reportedly planned last month, mayors of cities like Los Angeles, Baltimore, and Chicago pushed back, saying the city and local law enforcement would not cooperate with ICE. Mayor Lori Lightfoot in Chicago specifically directed the Chicago Police Department not to help ICE or allow them to access the department's databases.
Those raids were called off last month after Trump gave Democrats two weeks to change the nation's laws that guarantee the right for people to apply for asylum. The large-scale operation would be a departure from past practices, in which U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has focused its resources on rounding up people with criminal records who"pose a threat to public safety." This approach would include families and send ICE officers to people's homes.
"The agencies' flagrant and widespread errors made it impossible for people to know when their hearings were being held," the statement continued. John Cohen, a former senior official at the Homeland Security Department and ABC News contributor, said launching deportation raids at people's homes would consume the agency's resources.
