President Trump on Monday announced illegal immigrants will be “given” to
Sanctuary Cities and States, pending official decisions from the
Department of Homeland Security.

“Those Illegal Immigrants who can no longer be legally held (Congress must
fix the laws and loopholes) will be, subject to Homeland Security, given
to Sanctuary Cities and States!” Trump tweeted Monday.

The president’s announcement comes after reports revealed last week that
the administration had floated releasing detained immigrants into
sanctuary cities twice over the last six months.

Last week, Trump all but confirmed the reports and stated that the
administration was still "giving strong considerations" to the measure.
His Monday tweet seemingly signaled the administration would adopt the
policy.

The proposal was apparently rejected both times it came up--in November
and in February-- by administration immigration agencies. It is unclear,
at this point, whether immigration agencies would now support the proposal
with new leadership in place.

A spokesperson for DHS did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request
for comment.

The president's new plan comes amid a shake-up at the Department of
Homeland Security. Last week, DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen resigned, and
the president replaced her with Kevin McAleenan as acting DHS secretary,
who was serving as Customs and Border Protection commissioner.

Nielsen’s resignation last Sunday came amid an influx of migrants at the
U.S.-Mexico border. Nielsen was reportedly frustrated with the difficulty
of getting other departments to help deal with the growing number of
families crossing the border. But administration officials told Fox News
that McAleenan best fits Trump’s requirement of being the “toughest cop”
on the frontier and that Nielsen had been viewed as resistant to some of
the immigration measures pushed by the president and his aides.

Also last week, Randolph "Tex" Alles, stepped down from his post as head
of the Secret Service; DHS Acting Deputy Secretary Claire Grady also
resigned; and last Wednesday, Nielsen announced that ICE Acting Director
Ron Vitiello would be stepping down by the end of the week.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS DEMAND DOCS ON TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S 'BIZARRE AND
UNLAWFUL' PROPOSAL TO RELEASE MIGRANTS IN SANCTUARY CITIES

The proposal, first reported by The Washington Post, was seen as a
political move by the president, who has repeatedly blasted sanctuary
cities, which are cities, typically run by Democrats, where local
authorities refuse to cooperate with federal immigration agencies.

“Due to the fact that Democrats are unwilling to change our very dangerous
immigration laws, we are indeed, as reported, giving strong considerations
to placing Illegal Immigrants in Sanctuary Cities only,” Trump tweeted
last week, suggesting that “the Radical Left” should be “happy” with the
idea.

Democrats fumed over the proposal last week, and on Monday, House
Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y.; House Oversight
Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md., and House Homeland Security
Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., penned a letter to DHS and the White
House Monday requesting emails, and other communications between
administration officials related to the proposal.

“We are deeply troubled by multiple reports, recently confirmed by the
President, that the Trump Administration is considering releasing detained
immigrants into congressional districts represented by Democrats in a
bizarre and unlawful attempt to score political points,” the chairmen
wrote.

“Not only does the Administration lack the legal authority to transfer
detainees in this manner, it is shocking that the President and senior
Administration officials are even considering manipulating release
decisions for purely political reasons,” they continued.

TRUMP DOUBLES DOWN ON PLAN TO SHIP MIGRANTS TO SANCTUARY CITIES, SAYS
'RADICAL LEFT' SHOULD BE 'HAPPY'

Last week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office released a statement
blasting the idea. Pelosi’s, D-Calif., district—San Francisco,
specifically—was among the sanctuary cities to which the administration
was considering sending detainees.

“The extent of this Administration’s cynicism and cruelty cannot be
overstated,” Pelosi’s spokeswoman Ashley Etienne said in a statement
Friday. “Using human beings—including little children—as pawns in their
warped game to perpetuate fear and demonize immigrants is despicable, and
in some cases, criminal.”

She added: “The American people have resoundingly rejected this
Administration’s toxic anti-immigrant policies, and Democrats will
continue to advance immigration policies that keep us safe and honor our
values.”

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

The Obama-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)
approved Uranium One in fall 2010. With a little luck, we'll see
compulsive liar Hillary Clinton in jail before she dies.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
