Now that California is officially a sanctuary state, acting ICE Director Thomas Homan has promised that he would bring the full force of ICE to California in an effort to combat illegal immigration and deport criminal illegal aliens. Because of the policies of California lawmakers Kevin De Leon and Xavier Beccerra, local law enforcement's power to work with ICE officials is now limited.
According to ABC 30, 5 local fruit packing businesses were visited by immigration agents, and ordered audits of these businesses, seeking the immigration status of the employees. An ICE spokesperson stated that the purpose of the audits is to protect American jobs.
