The Trump administration began deploying specially trained tactical Customs and Border Protection units over the weekend to “sanctuary cities” across the country, in the latest attempt to crack down on cities that refuse to cooperate with the Trump administration’s immigration policies. The CBP SWAT teams will reportedly help Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, carry out raids against suspected undocumented people. They are being relocated from the southern border to cities like New York, Chicago, Detroit and New Orleans in an ongoing deployment that will last through May.
In more immigration news, a new report by The Washington Post says that confidential notes taken in mandatory therapy sessions for immigrant minors are passed on to ICE, which can then use those notes against the children and teens in court.
