DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin responded to President Trump’s call to continue traffic stops by ICE officers in pursuit of illegal aliens, and he did so by warning illegals about evading ICE officers.
And he called out prominent Democrats for encouraging illegals to evade ICE officers.
Here’s what he wrote:
Our #1 goal is to keep our officers safe and get criminals OFF our streets. Illegal aliens will be arrested and deported wherever they are. If you are here illegally, LEAVE NOW. As our officers carry out operations to enforce our nations laws, they are facing a more than 1,300% increase in vehicle attacks.
We remind illegal aliens attempting to evade arrest is dangerous. This reckless illegal alien activity comes after sanctuary politicians held webinars and shared resources for how to openly defy @ICEgov:
▪️Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hosted a webinar providing tips for illegal aliens to evade arrests at homes, workplaces, or in public.
▪️Dan Goldman posted a video online calling on illegal aliens to make a plan for ICE encounters.
▪️Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass issued multilingual flyers and online resources advising illegal aliens on how to evade arrest.
▪️California Governor Gavin Newsom released guides and sanctuary laws advising illegal aliens how to recognize ICE, block entry, and defy arrest.
Mulllin has gotten a lot of criticism for halting the traffic stops, especially since ICE officers were just defending themselves. While some of it sounds too dramatic, I get it. And I doubt it will go away anytime soon.
