Is Reince Priebus the White House Leaker? Conway Responds to Scaramucci Tweet

Acting ICE Director Thomas Homan answered questions prior to the White House press briefing, telling reporters "we've got to enforce the laws."

A reporter asked Homan about Trump's assertion that illegal alien gang members are "animals" and whether that rhetoric is helpful.

"Criminal aliens are a threat not only to the public safety but to national security," Homan responded.

"We've got to enforce the laws," he said.

Homan said that sanctuary cities are essentially advertisements for illegal immigrant smugglers to concentrate delivery of their human cargo.

He said that by allowing sanctuary cities to exist, and to fail to properly enforce the border crossing laws, "we are bankrolling these criminal organizations."

Homan also said the same passages and crossings used to smuggle people into the country are used to traffic drugs and weapons.

In 2013, California lawmakers passed legislation that allowed illegal aliens to obtain drivers licenses if they can prove to the Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) their identity and state residency. The plan was one of the largest victories to date by the open borders lobby.

Years later, an estimated 905,000 illegal aliens have drivers licenses in California, according to the Sacramento Bee, despite issuances beginning in 2015. The number of illegal aliens in California with drivers licenses is likely to surpass one million before the end of this year.

In the first half of 2017 alone, more than 83,000 illegal aliens received drivers licenses in California.

Soros groups are currently pushing a plan that would make it illegal to not rent a residence to an illegal alien because of their immigration status, Breitbart Texas reported.

Eboni Williams: Sanctuary Cities Endanger the Immigrant Community – Fox News Insider

'We've Got to Enforce the Law': ICE Director Lays Out Hard Line on Illegal Immigration

WATCH: Trump Awards Officers Medals of Valor for Actions in Scalise Shooting

Eboni Williams laid out her case against illegal immigration in "Eboni's Docket" on "The Fox News Specialists."

Williams said that few issues are as controversial as illegal immigration, but that action must be taken now.

"I submit to you that Donald J. Trump rose to the presidency on [the issue's] intensity," she said.

Williams said the latest tragedy involving the deaths of ten illegals in the back of a sweltering big rig in Texas illustrates why the practice of illegal border crossings must be dealt with.

She said that the government can no longer "kick the can down the road on real policy solutions around immigration reform."

"The intention of sanctuary cities is to protect [the immigrants]," she said, but noted they "actually further endanger the immigrant community itself."

"Nobody appreciates and encourages the richness and beauty of cultural diversity more than me. But I am not here for sanctuary cities as a means to that end," she said.

Trump Says Immigrant Gang Members ‘Slice and Dice’ Young, Beautiful Girls – Newsweek

President Donald Trump compared America to a nation under wartime occupation that needs to be liberated from illegal immigrants during a Make America Great Again rally in Ohio Tuesday night.

Trump said illegal immigrant gang members are like animals and that theyre not using guns to kill people because it's too fast and it's not painful enough.

He claimed gang members will take a young, beautiful girl, 16, 15 and others and they slice them and dice them with a knife because they want them to go through excruciating pain before they die.

The president didnt cite a specific example of this happening, but Fox News reported July 19 about how young girls associated with the gang MS-13 were used to lure four men from a rival gang to a Long Island New York park in April before gang members hacked the men to death with machetes. Some of the young men who died were the children of immigrants.

Several murders on Long Island have been linked to the gang. In March, gang members were charged with the September 2016 killing of two teen girls who were also hacked to death.

We are throwing MS-13 the hell out of here so fast, Trump said during the rally in Youngstown, Ohio. We are cracking down hard on the foreign criminal gangs that have brought illegal drugs, violence, horrible bloodshed to peaceful neighborhoods all across our country, he said.

The MS-13 gang was originally founded in Los Angeles, California, in the 1980s and has since spread throughout the U.S. and to Mexico and Central America. Members are mainly from El Salvador.

Trump said that people are screaming from their windows, thank you, thank you to the border patrol and to General Kelly's great people that come in and grab these thugs and throw them the hell out.

Were liberating our towns, and were liberating our cities. Can you believe we have to do that? he asked. Trump said that this is not being done in a politically correct fashion. Were doing it rough.

Trump said he is cracking down on "sanctuary cities" which don't require local law enforcement officers to arrest undocumented immigrants. On Tuesday Attorney General Jeff Sessions moved to make federal grants to local law enforcement more difficult if police don't help more withfederal immigration enforcement.

Police chiefs from major cities across the U.S. have said doing this will make their job of fighting local crime more difficult as it will deter witnesses and victims from coming forward.

Early this year Trump signed a pair of executive orders directing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to round up illegal immigrants who have previously been charged with even minor non-violent crimes.

In the hundred days after those orderswere signed, arrests of illegal immigrants rose 38 percent from the previous year. Yet deportations also shrank 12 percent during the same period.

Illegal immigration to the U.S. has shrunk overall during Trumps administration, falling by more than 61 percent.

By and large, those arrested under Trumps executive orders have been undocumented immigrants who have not committed a violent crime.

Between January 22 and April 29, ICE made 10,800 non-criminal arrests compared to just 4,200 during the same period in 2016.There are many examples of families whohave been separated in these instances.

ICE arrests 114 in New York operation targeting fugitives, illegal immigrants – Fox News

An Ecuadorian citizen who was illegally in the United States and had been convicted of rape was among 114 people arrested during an 11-day operation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in New York, the agency said Tuesday.

ICE said the sweep, which ended Saturday, targeted fugitives and and people who have violated U.S. immigration laws, including those who re-entered the country after being deported.

Of those arrested during the operation, 82 people had criminal histories, including prior convictions for sex crimes, drug offenses and fraud, while 15 others had pending criminal charges, including assault, larceny and sexual exploitation of a minor.

Others taken into custody included a Jamaican citizen -- with a prior conviction for forcible touching, robbery in the 1st degree and acting in a manner to injure a child less than 17 -- and a Mexican citizen whose criminal record includes a 1st degree manslaughter conviction, authorities said.

Our nation has a proud history of immigration, but we are also a nation governed by laws specifically designed to protect its citizens and residents. ERO deportation officers are committed to enforcing the immigration laws set forth by our legislators, said Thomas Decker, field office director for Enforcement and Removal Operations in New York. Of those arrested during this operation, nine were released from New York custody with an active detainer, which poses an increased risk to the officers and the community.
