SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — In another sign of escalating tensions between President Donald Trump's administration and California, the nation's top immigration official said Friday his agency will have "no choice" but to arrest immigrants who are in the country illegally in California's neighborhoods and worksites.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement will also likely have to place immigrants arrested in California in out-of-state detention centers, ICE Acting Director Thomas Homan said in a statement.
 
Homan's comments came a day after Gov. Jerry Brown signed bill SB54, or sanctuary state legislation.

Starting Jan. 1, police will be barred from asking people about their immigration status or participating in federal immigration enforcement activities. Jail officials only will be allowed to transfer inmates to federal immigration authorities if they have been convicted of certain crimes.

1. Have they done this in a single red state?

2. Haven't heard, if they did. Red states would be wild to round up ALL people with darker skin,

and give them as much abuse as possible, I'm certain.

Texas and Arizona are notorious for their hideous behavior toward people they imagine are "illegals." Those states have attracted more than their share of loathsome racist fascists, and it's a real shame to all people of goodwill.

The world could heal itself without these guys!

4. I was thinking about them harassing farms who hire workers- curious if they're letting red states

Get away with keeping some as workers becasue they need them.

5. Like many Eastern European countries were enthusiastic about rounding up Jews

They had their own local fascists happy to help the Germans

3. Thomas Homan: traitor to American values

Homan: a man who betrays Lady Liberty, who cruelly denies the promise of the American melting pot. A xenophobe and purveyor of bitter retaliation about cities that want to protect hardworking American residents.
